The plot is a combination of the mundane (all that cooking paraphernalia), the scientific (random facts about rocks and minerals) and the utterly fantastical ( finding a living baby dinosaur in an amber egg! and so many random threads that sort of tied up but sort of didn't. I actually skipped whole paragraphs that didn't seem relevant and I almost NEVER skip in novels. I found it difficult to read aloud as there are so many asides and I found the frequent stream-of-consciousness tiring. We enjoyed the first Skunk and Badger book, quirks and all. Thank you to Algonquin Young Readers for my copy in exchange for an honest review. Read it for yourself and love it! I know I did.
and Badger and Skunk are not going to believe it! (See the first book to get the low-down on the chickens.)īut there's something special in the woods this time. Hedgehog and Badger avoiding thoughts of his stealing cousin, they set off into the woods. Several years ago, his precious agate was taken by his cousin, Fisher, never to be returned!
In fact, it will give Badger the ability to look for a replacement agate for his collection. Badger is all for this plan, as he loves exploring and looking for more rocks for Rock Science. So Skunk proposes a camping trip with Badger. Hedgehog, is back in town and wants to steal his pages of the "New Yak Times Book Review" from him to "resume their previous arrangement." Skunk cannot stand for this - he must leave town for the week to get his mind off of this tragedy. Skunk's latest obsession is obtaining the book review portion of the "New Yak Times" (I love the references, guys, I LOVE them) and Badger is doing Important Rock Work in his rock room.īut then, Skunk finds out that his previous neighbor, G. In Egg Marks the Spot, Badger and Skunk are doing just fine as roommates in Aunt Lula's brownstone. The perfect, relaxing read to enjoy with a cozy cup of tea. I loved this story and had no issues with it as an adult. Well, Skunk and Badger's adventures in Egg Marks the Spot are truly for all ages. When people say "oh, this is perfect for ALL AGES!" sometimes what they mean is, it's perfect for kids but not dumb for adults to sit through. If you're new to the series, check out this one first!Īs a grown woman with no kids, I guess I'm an odd age demographic for this series, but let me tell you something: I absolutely loved this book. This is the second adventure with Skunk and Badger. This one took everything I loved about the first adventure and made it bigger and better. Another adventure with Skunk and Badger? We are blessed.
