Carol Doeringer, illustrated by Florence Weiser
Two campers approach a skunk and face a question about what to do. The skunk gives warnings, but the pair dismisses them, creeps closer, and tempts fate. Their actions make tension build with every page. The book uses humor in a cautionary-tale approach. Each page is intended to make readers cringe at the campers’ choices and their refusal to heed the skunk’s warnings.
