Skunk and Badger by Amy Timberlake

4.0

Badger has everything just the way he likes it in Aunt Lula's quiet brownstone home. A rock room with all of his rock equipment and rocks artistically placed, a box room full of boxes, a tidy kitchen and a cozy bedroom, everything in its place and perfect. But then Skunk unexpectedly moves in (Badger should have read those letters from Aunt Lula) and takes over his box room, squishing all of his boxes, and turning it into a moon room. Now there are potato rockets flying around the kitchen, dirty dishes in the sink and chickens waiting to eat popcorn and hear stories in Badger's rock room. Though Badger tries to make the best of things, he soon loses his patience with Skunk. Sadly (no one wants a skunk) Skunk packs his suitcase and leaves. Badger has the brownstone to himself again. Just what Badger wants, or is it? Adorable, entertaining and timely. A beautiful and kind story about learning to accept and appreciate each others differences. Would make a great read aloud in K-2.
