Five years since the hardcover and still so much love for them, Skunk and Badger is now in paperback!
This acclaimed and bestselling best book is a delightful animal-odd-couple story by Newbery Honoree Amy Timberlake with pictures from Caldecott medalist Jon Klassen.
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.
"Wordy fun, with laugh-out-loud dialogue…this book defies age grouping. Anyone who has shared a living space - with siblings, classmates or grown adults - can relate to this witty and whimsical tale. Lovers of rocks and chickens, and nerds of all stripes, will crack a smile. Scratchy yet sophisticated ink drawings by the Caldecott Medal winner Jon Klassen add warmth to the already cozy text…they give this handsomely designed book the look and feel of a classic."-The New York Times Book Review
"Gloriously complemented by Jon Klassen's meticulous illustrations, Skunk and Badger has the feel of a bygone era while telling a completely modern (and delightful) story of how hard change can be, and how worth it change is."-NPR
