I simply adored the characters and the stories about two friends getting on with their lives and learning valuable life lessons. As a child, I would read the Frog & Toad series by Arnold Lobel over and over again. Skunk and Badger brought back so many fond memories for me. And when an incident with a stoat pushes Badger over the edge he decides that Skunk must go…

Skunk is energetic, noisy, loves cooking tasty breakfasts and hangs out with chickens, none of which is good news for Badger. When Skunk arrives on Badger’s doorstep - if only Badger had read Aunt Lula’s letter he would have known all about his unexpected arrival - he turns Badger’s world upside-down. Life is routine, simple and safe - a breakfast of cold cereal and milk is followed by Important Rock Work. Badger lives a quiet and peaceful life in his Aunt Lula’s brownstone house.
