Nog een verhaaltje voor het slapengaan van Burgess. Jimmy Skunk, het stinkdier, beleeft vele avonturen met zijn vrienden en medebewoners van het bos, de wei en de boomgaard.
Het leuke is dat verschillende dieren telkens terugkomen in de verhalen, zoals Peter Rabbit, Buster Bear, Billy Possum, Sammy Jay... En ook de boerderij van boer Brown en zijn bewoners speelt een rol in het leven van de dieren.
Ik hou wel van deze verhaaltjes.

Perfect narration by John Lieder, as always. Entertaining lighthearted story from Burgess.

Such a fun 1st grade read-aloud! They were begging for more.

A charming story or collection of stories - not really sure what to call it. My youngest (9yo at the time) absolutely loved it.

4 stars & 4/10 hearts. This is a particularly humorous Burgess book. Jimmy Skunk, Unc’ Billy Possum, & Peter Rabbit bring humour to almost every page. Definitely one of my favourite Burgess books. 

A Favourite Quote: “‘I really don't want to go back there tonight,’ he muttered, ‘but I guess I'll have to. I said I would, and so I'll have to do it. I believe in keeping my word. If I shouldn't and some day he should find it out, he wouldn't believe me the next time I happened to say I would do a thing. Yes, Sir, I'll have to go back. There is nothing like making people believe that when you say a thing you mean it. There is nothing like keeping your word to make people respect you.’”
A Favourite Humorous Quote: “‘Ah reckons, Brer Skunk,’ said he, ‘that there isn't anybody wants to go fo' to meddle with yo' and Brer Porky. Ah reckons most folks knows what would happen if they did, and that yo' and Brer Porky are folks it's a sight mo' comfortable to leave alone. Leastways, Ah does. Ah ain't aiming fo' trouble with either of yo'. That li'l bag of scent yo' carry is cert'nly most powerful, Brer Skunk, and Ah isn't hankering to brush against those little spears Brer Porky is so free with. Ah knows when Ah's well off, and Ah reckons most folks feel the same way.’”

"I like it. My favorite part is when the skunk sprayed Reddy Fox. That part was the funniest."

Love the humor!

Love how the author puts in character lessons throughout the story of the animals. And how Farmer Brown's boy doesn't have a name, but he knows the animal's names. Hah!

Awesome book I loved it It was the best book I ever read!!!!!!!!!

Loved it..........just the best book ever, Jimmy skunk obviously was my favourite character,and I have a suggestion you should make a book called the adventures of Peter rabbit.
