Description
Everyone knows there are no skunks in Nova Scotia...right? Well, that's what Pamela thinks, until she wakes up one morning to a terrible smell.
Now Pamela stinks, her father stinks, her sister stinks, and her mother stinks. Soon her life stinks—her friends at school won't come near her! And no matter how many skunks her father catches underneath the house, there always seems to be another.
Join Pamela and her family as they confront the odorous onslaught—and watch Pamela slowly start to like the unexpectedly cute creatures.

Skunks for breakfast gave me huge Robert Munsch vibes! A family in Nova Scotia has to deal with stinky, smelly skunks living in their crawl space. Day after day they have to endure people avoiding them because of the stench. Eventually they released all of the skunks one at a time into the wilderness.
I loved the Canadian references.
The story was silly and the illustrations were fun and bright.
This is a light story about a stinky problem.
Mainly, what do you do when your crawlspace is invaded by skunks in the winter.
And not just one skunk, but a whole family of skunks, which the family has to catch one by one.
And in the mean time, smell like skunks.
The pictures are light for such a smelly subject.

It is a cute book, apparently based on a true story.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

A family in Nova Scotia has a problem. There is a skunk living under the house, and it's making a big stink! This story is about how this family dealt with their recurring skunk problem. One of my favorite lines is when the man from the hardware store informs them that there are no skunks in Nova Scotia. This made me laugh!
I think this would be a great read aloud in the classroom. It's almost absurd how many skunks there are, and I know my students would be laughing at this entertaining story.
Great cute story!
Thanks to NetGalley for the Advanced Reading Copy!

I was given a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Skunks or Breakfast reads as a hilarious memoir. The pictures are just darling and there's no doubt in my mind that this really happened. It's written in perfect voice for children. My son thought it was very funny and he loved the pictures as well. I believe this book was published originally some years ago, but the story is timeless and we enjoyed our experience reading it.
