The Skunk by Mac Barnett illustrated by Patrick McDonnell

In this humorous story, a gentleman is followed by the skunk all over town-even into the opera house.  No matter what he does he cannot lose the skunk.  When he begins a new life without the skunk, he suddenly wonders about the skunk.
Funny ending that requires some inferring.
I really liked the illustrations and the color choices by Mr. McDonnell.  Readers can infer the meaning of the color palettes and what they mean in reference to the story.
Strategy: inferring
