Skunk and Badger by Amy Timberlake illustrated by Jon Klassen

 Badger has Important Rock Work to complete each day.  Thankfully his aunt Lula has given her brownstone to reside so the Important Rock Work can continue each day.  When she also permits Skunk to stay in the brownstone, Badger is appalled.  Skunk disrupts his work.  He squashes all of the boxes in his box room.  He launches a potato in the kitchen and leaves it sitting in the corner.  He invites chickens into the brownstone.  Skunk must go!

A sweet book that will cause the reader to think about kindness and friendship.

The writing is superb and clever.  The quirkiness of the story and characters is endearing.  It sort of reminds of Kate DiCamillo's unique writing style and characters.
