Polecat Has a Superpower!

Written by Jill Esbaum, Illustrated by Bob Shea
G.P. Putnam

Polecat has a doozy of a superpower! But he can’t tell you about it until filling you in on all things polecat. What’s a polecat? A spotted skunk, and what he lacks in size, he makes up for in speed and swagger. That superpower? You and Polecat’s nervous little porcupine friend are in for a shocker.


“…The latest in Esbaum and Shea’s effective series (previous titles covered the parrotfish and the hoatzin bird) is another winner….Both the narrative and the colorful cartoon illustrations brim with appealing humor. These animals have plenty of personality…. Another lively and engaging presentation from a talented pair.” -Kirkus Reviews
