Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The highly anticipated wordless picture book from debut author and collage artist Thao Lam
"Wordless... colorful... hilarious."
Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW
In Skunk on a String, we meet a skunk who has been tied to the tail of a balloon. Try as he might, the persistent critter canât get anyone to untie him. In this wordless story, he is shooed and swatted through a bustling parade, past the windowpanes of the cityâs apartment buildings with their diverse, busy inhabitants, then up to the construction cranes high above the city. He floats through the zoo, into traffic, under water, and eventually lands atop a Ferris wheel. When he finally unties himself, the skunk misses the aerial life  so he comes up with an inspired way to fly again.
Paper collage art in whimsical colors and patterns  polka dots, gingham, and florals Âcreates a playful dynamic and brilliantly captures details of urban life, from the legs of a crowd to window boxes, spilled ice cream, and clothing flapping on clotheslines. This heartwarming, highly visual adventure takes a new vantage point on the ordinary and shows the skunk expanding his horizons, overcoming adversity, and, eventually, helping himself.
