I picked up this book on a blind recommendation, knowing only that it was an anthropomorphic middle grade novel with illustrations by an artist whose work I liked. To my absolute delight, I discovered a story that’s unabashedly whimsical and warm.

Personally, I love skunks, so I was a little frustrated with Badger for being so unwelcoming when Skunk showed up on the stoop of his townhouse. In Badger’s defense, though, the amount of mayhem Skunk created would have made anyone lose their temper, let alone a buttoned-down badger with “very important rock work” to perform.
