Skunk and Sniffy

A gentle, charming story of a little Skunk and his favourite teddy; so full of warmth, understanding & pure love that it will become a favourite for all

-- Fallen Star Stories

Simple, relatable and beautifully executed … a delightful tale of comfort lost and found … It is a joy to read aloud, thanks to Ní Chíobháin’s punchy sentences, easy rhythm and careful use of emboldening, exclamation points and capitalisation. The interplay of text and imagery works wonderfully well. With plenty of squiggly stink lines and details that invite pause, Donnelly’s bright, fun and characterful illustrations help us to understand just how much Sniffy (and Mama) means to Skunk. This is a story that will resonate with toddlers, preschoolers, infant class pupils, parents and anyone who has ever had something, or someone, that makes the world feel just right - Karen Campbell, mother of 3 and lover of children’s literature, Co.
