Skunk and Badger: Skunk and Badger 1

When friendly, free-spirited Skunk moves in with solitary rock scientist Badger, both are forever changed in this whimsical, emotionally rich story from Newbery Honor author Amy Timberlake, illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen (I Want My Hat Back, Pax).

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)
