Polecat Has a Superpower

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bob Shea. A polecat (or spotted skunk) is ready to show off its "superpower" to a porcupine friend...but first describes its habitat, diet, and adaptations. Finally, the polecat reveals the superpower, sufficiently surprising the porcupine -- and likely readers, too. Like the other books in this series, snappy dialogue and lively digital cartoon illustrations keep the interest level high. Additional facts about the species are appended.
