A zany train ride of epic proportions. More than 225 verses across 75 soon to be illustrated pages, The De-Stinktive Skunk offers an unlikely blended hint of Beatrix Potter, Dr. Seuss, Homer and Inspector Poirrot as a dapper skunk with a suitcase of perfumes boards a train, rattles his fellow passengers and accidentally falls into the role of on-board sleuth who sets out to uncover the mystery behind hundreds of cans of missing SPAM® from the train’s galley. Story complete. Project goal: Develop this property as a children’s audio CD series and eventual live children’s musical.

The De-Stinktive Skunk
Repacked his trunk
He filled it with his lotions
Accouterments and dinner mints
And lots of perfume potions.
He hailed a cab
Ran up a tab
Unloaded at the station
Upon which time,
he sang a rhyme
And bought a white Impatien.
The Zebra Zephyr
Limited
Pulled sharply to the platform.
A wisp of steam, a spit-shined gleam
A toot from out its fat horn…
