Skunk and Badger
Book - 2020
The last thing Badger wants is a roommate, and certainly not Skunk, but since the house does not belong to him he does not have a choice; and soon everything in Badger's quiet and ordered life studying rocks is turned upside down (and where on earth did all the chickens come from)--but after he drives Skunk and his chickens away, Badger starts to miss his roommate and sets out to find him and make amends.

2020; Algonquin Young Readers (Workman Audio)
When the publisher reached out to ask me if I wanted to read Skunk and Badger, I said yes just based on the cover art. I am a fan of Jon Klassen's art, and loved his book I Want My Hat Back. I had not heard of Amy Timberlake but figured there would be some humour and endearing moments if Klassen was attached to it. I did not get a chance to read this as quick as I wanted to (as 2020 was a rough year for planned reading). I noticed that Netgalley had added audiobooks to their request and saw that Skunk and Badger was available on audio. Thank you to Workman Audio, as I enjoyed Michael Boatman's narration of the characters and story. (I would suggest still taking the novel out to see Klassen's artwork). Skunk and Badger remind me of The Odd Couple, with a touch of Ethology/Zoology. This novel is aimed at middle grades.
