This book was adorable. As a new parent I’ve found myself starting to take interest in children’s books. If I can start collecting great reads such as this one than by the time little Eleanor is old enough to read these levels of books I’ll already have a good shelf going for her already!
Badger was not sure what to think of the Skunk standing on his doorstep at first. Was he just another salesman looking to make him a sale? Nope, little did Badger realize that Skunk was actually his new roommate. Maybe Badger should’ve read all those letters from Aunt Lula letting him know to expect his new roommate.
Skunk and Badger end up on some seriously crazy adventures involving lots and lots of chickens!
I’m so glad I got a chance to read this book and the illustrations are beautiful. I picked up the audio and would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys audiobooks. The narration was so fun!
