A classic tale about an extraordinary and unlikely animal
friendship. For fans of Paddington Bear and Wallace and Gromit.
From Newbery Honor Author, Amy Timberlake and multi-award winning
illustrator, Jon Klassen comes a beautiful tale of friendship for
readers aged 7+. Meet Skunk and Badger. The first time Badger saw
Skunk, he thought, 'puny' and shut the front door. There was simply
too much slick in this Skunk's stripe. Too much puff in his tail.
Also, there'd been that grin, and the way he'd stuck out his paw as
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 .
. . But Skunk is Badger's new roommate, and there is nothing Badger
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.
