Mucky Moose is the smelliest animal in the forest. His smell is so potent that it causes the wolf who wants to eat him to turn green and faint. The wolf tries repeatedly to eat Mucky, turning at last, in desperation to a gas mask, only to find that he can't bite with the mask on. "The wolf hadn't thought of that little detail. (Thinking was not his strong point.)" After this incident, the wolf decides to leave the forest and become a guide wolf for the blind. And "the other wolves sensible kept away from Mucky..." This is a gently humorous picture book in which a powerful and dangerous enemy is defeated without resorting to violence when the main character remains true to himself.
