if he had been looking forward to meeting Badger. Badger knew what
to make of that. He shut the door before the fellow got any ideas .

can do about it. When Skunk bursts 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? Skunk and
Badger is a beautiful reminder that sometimes opposites are
destined to be the best of friends. A book you'll want to read
again and again, beautifully illustrated throughout by Jon Klassen.
