Something stinks in the forest-and it's not just the garbage.
When the Raccocoon Garbage Company suddenly stops collecting trash, Little Squirrel sets out to solve the mystery of the smelly cocoons, rotten apple cores, broken eggshells, and old snakeskins piling up around her home. What begins as a funny, stinky mystery quickly becomes an important lesson about inclusion, courage, and standing up for others.
When Little Squirrel discovers that some animals are being left out, she decides to take action-and learns that even the smallest voices can make a big difference.
Something Stinks Around Here is a warm, funny picture book that gently teaches kids about:
Kindness and inclusion
Speaking up when something feels unfair
Empathy and standing up for others
Perfect for read-aloud time, classroom lessons, social-emotional learning (SEL), and families who want stories that spark meaningful conversations-while still being silly, playful, and full of giggles.
A heartwarming (and stinky ) adventure with a message kids will remember.
Recommended for ages 4-10.
