Bookroo's summary

Meet the polecat, a nocturnal creature with a secret superpower that isn't what you think. Unlike a skunk, this polecat has a unique ability that leaves a porcupine on edge. As you delve into his world, can you uncover the mystery of his hidden talent? Join the adventure and find out what makes this polecat truly extraordinary!

From the publisher

A factual (and funny) introduction to the polecat and its awesome, action-packed superpower, from the team that brought you Parrotfish Has a Superpower. The polecat has a super cool superpower you’d probably never guess. Why? Well, first, he’s usually only awake when the rest of us are sleeping! Second, he is NOT a baby skunk, despite what everyone says, so he can do more than spray his predators. And third, his superpower isn’t something he normally shows to friends. But today he’s happy to show you (and one nervous porcupine) what it is! After we get to know him of course. Will you be able to guess the superpower? Read this book to find out! Discover more wacky animal facts in Stinkbird Has a Superpower and Parrotfish Has a Superpower.
