"Smelly Melly"

In this coming of age book, we meet Melvin A. Skunk, dubbed "Smelly Melly" by his peers. Follow him on a horribly embarrassing first day of school. It isn't until after his very wise father talks to him that he feels better and the courage to return to school the next day. Armed with the knowledge that it is all part of growing up and we all have and will experience moments of humility.
