Synopsis: 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?

“Nooooooooooooooooooooo!”

Review: I absolutely loved this story! The illustrations were so cute and full of expression. The story was fun and child friendly. However, some of the book is choppy and repetitive, but younger readers probably won't notice.

Verdict: It was a charming book
