But mischievous Peter Rabbit thinks up a way to upend this plan, ensuring Reddy Fox will get the blame and a dose of Jimmy's "perfume." Originally published in 1918, this book tickles another generation of readers as they learn about skunks, opossums, and life in the meadow through the eyes of Jimmy Skunk.
