Skunk and Badger (PB)

Skunk and Badger by Amy Timberlake is a charming and humorous chapter book that explores the unlikely friendship between two very different animals. Badger, a solitary pine marten who enjoys his quiet life and "Important Rock Work," is taken aback when Skunk arrives at his doorstep, sent by Aunt Lula to be his new roommate. Skunk's cheerful and disruptive presence challenges Badger's routines, leading to a series of comedic and heartfelt events. Through their interactions, Badger learns about kindness, compromise, and the value of unexpected friendships. The story is complemented by Jon Klassen's illustrations, adding depth to this delightful tale.
