The Skunk smells wonderful and entertains all ages effortlessly

Patrick McDonnell is one of our favorite authors. He’s the guy behind Mutts, a comic strip (and countless books) that show the love, adventures and life of various domestic animals and the people that live with them.  Mac Barnett is the author of one of our favorite books in recent memory, Battle Bunny.  He also co-authored The Terrible Two, a very funny book for young readers that was recently green lit to become a movie. Combine the two of them in The Skunk and you won’t be disappointed.

A dad and mom play “did somebody step on a duck”?

As a stay at home dad I encounter lots of funny situations with my child.  Toilet jokes are the low hanging fruit in the blog world.  I made a pact with myself to avoid stories about the toilet, a moratorium if you will, for as long as possible.  I’m sure that when Baby Mojo gets to the potty training phase of life we’ll have more stories, some of which may actually be funny. 

 Speaking in a very technical sense, it’s not a story of the toilet, more accurately it’s a case of “did somebody step on a duck”?  Continue reading A dad and mom play “did somebody step on a duck”?
