The Adventures of Sammy the Skunk

About the Book

You are about to enter the deep woods where Sammy the skunk becomes a hero to the animals that live there. Although Sammy does not live in the deep woods, he enters it quite by accident, and his adventures begin immediately.

In book three, Sammy helps in the cleanup of the deep woods after a storm. You will hear a story told by Mr. Porcupine that frightens the animals. You will learn about a condition Mrs. Porcupine has called “quil-la-ti-tus-i-tus,” and how Dr. Opossum cures it. You will see who Miss Deer meets when taking the little animals to a birthday party.

Life lessons are written for each of the three stories in this book. They include a question for children to think about, a scripture verse, a truth about God, and a short message about the love God has for His children.

About the Author

About the Author:

Adele A. Roberts has a BA in education, an MA in counseling, and a CDA in early childhood development. She created the character of Sammy over forty years ago and began telling her make-believe stories to her students. She started writing the first story of Sammy when a young student asked if there was a book about the little skunk. Although it wasn’t a priority of hers at the time to write stories, she finished part of the first story and set it aside. Years later she found the old cardboard box containing the aged, colored papers of her first story. It was at this time she realized she needed to complete the task she had begun so many years before.
