Book Overview

A Best Book of 2020: People * Kirkus Reviews * Booklist * School Library Journal * Publishers Weekly * Shelf Awareness for Readers * New York Public Library * Chicago Public Library * Evanston Public Library

This acclaimed and bestselling best book of the year 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.

When Skunk plows 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?

Newbery Honor author Amy Timberlake spins the first tale in a series about two opposites who need to be friends. New York Times bestselling author-illustrator and Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen completes the book with his signature lushly textured art. This beautifully produced paperback edition contains both full-color plates and numerous black-and-white illustrations. Skunk and Badger is a book you'll want to read, reread, and read out loud . . . again and again.
