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.
