Poo-yi! There is nothing more foul than the smell of a skunk, except for the harsh words of teasing children. In this twelfth book of the Clovis Crawfish series, Mary Alice Fontenot has created a delightful story to teach children that people who are different from themselves are special in their own way, too. The skunk Batiste Bete Puante doesnt mean to offend his friends, but the awful smell he gives off is actually one of his defenses. At first, the little wetland creatures make fun of him. But Clovis comes to the defense of the misunderstood skunk when Batiste saves Rene Rain Frog from the treacherous threat of Sosthene Snake! In this tale of a smelly tail children learn about the heritage of the Cajuns and the importance of respecting the unusual abilities of others.
