Striped Coat the Skunk

This classic living book by Joseph Wharton Lippincott, first published in 1922, is a story for young readers about Striped Coat the wild skunk.

Born in a brush pile on Slown's farm, Striped Coat quickly proves himself to be the strongest and most brave of the litter, and his sleek, black coat makes him sought after by fur hunters all along Goose Creek and beyond. The story follows the skunk family's life and adventures, with real knowledge about skunks and creatures of the woods woven throughout.
