Rock on with the "Punk Skunks!"

"Punk Skunks" by Trisha Speed Shaskan

This entertaining story is about two best skunk friends (BSF) who both have individual interests, but also enjoy making music together.  Kit plays the drums and Buzz plays guitar.  But one day the two friends have a disagreement about a song and get in a fight where they say hurtful things to each other.

This brightly colored engaging story has a simple text that has fun rhythm full of playful onomatopoeia.  This story would a wonderful mentor text for introducing onomatopoeia or to build background for a personal narrative writing assignment about a time they had a fight with a friend.  I'm sure students will return frequently to reread this independently.  Rock on!
