Frog love.
Fly love.
Where is my love?
Everywhere he goes it seems like all the other animals have someone to love . . . except for Skunk. Even gnats and snails and bats and whales have partners by their sides. Will Skunk find love?

Comic readers are told almost entirely in action-packed dialogue! Simple, graphic, paneled layouts introduce emergent readers to the joy of comics. 

Step 1 Readers feature big type and easy words for children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired picture clues help children decode the story.
