You are about to enter the deep woods where Sammy the skunk becomes a hero to the animals that live there. Although Sammy does not live in the deep woods, he enters it quite by accident, and his adventures begin immediately. In book three, Sammy helps in the cleanup of the deep woods after a storm. You will hear a story told by Mr. Porcupine that frightens the animals. You will learn about a condition Mrs. Porcupine has called “quillatitusitus,” and how Dr. Opossum cures it.
