The first title in a warm and witty illustrated chapter-book series from Newbery Honorâwinner Amy Timberlake and superstar illustrator Jon Klassen, about a pair of unlikely animal friends
Analytical and set in his ways, Badger is taken aback when jolly, easygoing Skunk rings the doorbell to announce heâs Badgerâs new roommate. (Badger may have been ignoring his landlord Aunt Lulaâs letters . . . ) But as Badger begrudgingly opens up his homeâand heartâto Skunk and his unconventional ways, the two characters become irrevocably changed by each other, establishing an odd-couple friendship that is timeless and real.
Set in a brownstone in a town that evokes a slightly-more-urban Hundred Acre Wood, the story is part Wind in the Willows, part Wallace and Gromit. Filled with a delightful population of chickens, sheep, stoats, hedgehogs, voles and philosophical musings, it establishes the perfect scenario for illustrations by Caldecott Medalâwinner (This Is Not My Hat) and Honor illustrator (Extra Yarn, Sam and Dave Dig a Hole) Jon Klassen.
