A Whiff of Pine, a Hint of Skunk


Ruddell, Deborah. A Whiff of Pine, a Hint of Skunk. McElderry Books: 2009. ISBN: 9781416942115.

A Whiff of Pine, a Hint of Skunk is just a book of poems. This book has pictures of some of the forest animals. Like a biography of a beaver is telling about the skunk. A wild turkey who comments on his portrait is my favorite poem because it tells what he doesn't like about a kid's portrait. I thought the book was funny because of what some of the poems say. Like the turkey who comments on this portrait is mad because the kid made it look completely wrong because he forgot colors. I recommend this book for anyone who likes poetry. Someone who writes poetry would like this book because it is a book with poems.
