The Adventures of Jimmy Skunk

Peter Rabbit thinks it will be funny to stir up trouble around a sleeping Jimmy Skunk, but his prank quickly spins out of control. A chase involving Sammy Jay and Reddy Fox ends with a barrel crashing downhill and Jimmy being jolted awake and furious. The story then follows Unc’ Billy Possum in Farmer Brown’s henhouse, where hiding, discovery, and a clever act of playing dead lead to his escape. Full of woodland mischief, quick consequences, and old-fashioned charm, this classic tale shows how tricks can backfire.
