Rock Paper Incisors: A Skunk and Badger Story

By Amy Timberlake

$18.99

Shake off the hibernation blues with odd-couple friends Skunk and Badger in this funny and bestselling series, from Newbery honoree Amy Timberlake and Caldecott medalist Jon Klassen!

Skunk and Badger have an easy roommate rhythm--Skunk cooks! Badger cleans!--until they take in two orphaned rat pups, Zeno and Zephyr. Badger is working on an Important Rock Work article for Rock Hound Weekly and needs focus, focus, focus to write it. How much trouble could two tiny rats really be? Some scheduling, a few strategically placed naps, and all will be well.

But it's winter, and nothing goes to plan. Hibernation threatens every routine. Articles refuse to write themselves. And rats in the rock room? It will take a North Twist village to raise these rats!

Featuring cozy drawings and full-color pictures by bestselling artist Jon Klassen, Amy Timberlake's delightfully off-kilter adventure explores the complexity of friendship and the meaning of family in a wintery world where chickens wear parkas and Yard Sheep host spaghetti dinners. And wait! Is that a dinosaur?
