Sconcs și viezure

Badger wants a quiet home where he can study rocks. He has no plans to share it with anyone. Then Skunk arrives and upsets his way of life. Badger thinks his new housemate is too friendly. He also objects to how much space Skunk needs. An animal gets sprayed by mistake, and a crowd of chickens appears.

Amy Timberlake’s funny tale for children follows two unlikely friends. Wordplay and funny talks give it appeal for older readers too. The story explores why change feels hard and why it matters.

Timberlake and Jon Klassen have both won awards for their work in children’s books. Klassen drew the art. He uses both colour art and black-and-white drawings. This gives the tale an old-fashioned look. This edition is part of the Arthur. Funny Green series. Iulian Bocai translated it from English. Its English title is Skunk and Badger.
