Sally Skunkskin: Grumbles to Grateful - Hardcover

by Kathy J. Perry (Author), Claudia Gadotti (Illustrator)

Kindness stinks!

At least that's what Sally Skunkskin thinks. She's rude when the beaver minds his business. She's rude when the coyotes and foxes have fun. She's even rude when Sneaks the snake tries to help her.

She's a blunt skunk who needs a lesson in manners. But will she ever learn to hold her tongue the way others hold their noses? She'd better because it's the only way Sally will ever enjoy the sweet smell of friendship.

Sally Skunkskin: Grumbles to Grateful is a warm and gentle story about how to make friends and get along with others-even when you think no one likes you.

This is book one of the Oakwoods series of early reader chapter books featuring under-appreciated woodland animals. Perfect for young readers transitioning from picture to chapter books. Features include:
