Description
Winnie-the-Pooh meets Wallace & Gromit in a fresh take on a classic odd-couple friendship.
No one wants a skunk. They are unwelcome on front stoops. They should not linger in Important Rock Rooms. Skunks should never, ever be allowed to move in. But Skunk is Badger's new roommate, and there is nothing Badger can do about it.
When Skunk plows into Badger's life, everything Badger knows is upended. Tails are flipped. The wrong animal is sprayed. And why oh why are there so many chickens?
'This book was so funny! It made me and my dad laugh so hard. I didn't know if Skunk and Badger were ever going to become friends, but if you want to find out then read the book.' - Henry, age 6 (ABA 2020 Kids' Reading Guide)
