Striped Coat, The Skunk (Illustrated) | Joseph Wharton Lippincott

1 post | 1 read

STRIPED COAT, THE SKUNK is a children's novel about the adventures of a rural skunk, and the farm where it lives. Although many farmers consider skunks vermin, they are highly intelligent animals who do the farmers a great service by killing field mice, and other small animals. In this story, the skunk has all sorts of adventures - from hiding from its natural predators, to creating a safe den for its young, vulnerable offspring in the barn. It is truly an intriguing story, shining light into the skunk's daily activities.

so-so

This was a cute children's book about skunks, written back when skunks were still farmed for their fur and killed as a nuisance animal. There's some casual racism in it (all the animals are simply named their species except... Crow. Just guess). I read it because my Twitch chat requested it, but I only realized after that it's not public domain in Canada thanks to the new NAFTA agreement (yes I will die made about it).
