What an adorable read!
Skunk and Badger (Skunk and Badger #1) by Amy Timberlake
Badger a solitary and scholarly rock collector lives alone in his Aunt's brownstone. That is until skunk comes to stay. His life changes, with the wonderful skunk as the catalyst. Where he once dined on cereal and milk he know tastes muffins and hot chocolate. His life is turned upside down. Then there's the chickens. I love the tiny orange chicken.
Just as Badger is starting to learn about caring and sharing it all goes terribly wrong.
Accompanied by charming colored plates and pen and ink illustrations enhance the story. Wonderful elements about differences and acceptance are woven around these two main characters. Some humorous moments that lift this junior and middle school story into the company of some of our best loved stories for the young.
