Summary
A hilarious picture book from Rebecca Young with quirky art by much-loved illustrator, Leila Rudge.
Woody is not what his family expected. He is a skunk with NO funk. A failure. A flop. An odourless plop. Poor Woody! What is he going to do?
When Woody’s family realise he has no smell at all, they try EVERYTHING to help him find his funk, showing him how to rummage in rubbish and dabble in dung. But what if the answer was there all along?
