Egg Marks the Spot (Skunk and Badger 2) | 
so-soAlas, the curse of the sequel strikes again. Where the first was charm and a simple message, this one felt outlandish and frustrating for too much of it. There were charming and silly moments, but a novella geared to a younger reading audience should never feel like it's dragging, and this one did. There also seemed to be less art than the previous book. I'm always hoping for more Jon Klassen work!
I do enjoy Skunk's priorities.
Tiny Orange Hen bias! 🧡 I am susceptible too. ☺️
pickBedtime book with my daughter. We love this little series
pickSo many good things here: two memorable and quirky friends, an adventure, fab (but maybe too few?) illustrations, and a dinosaur. Great writing too. I love Skunk and Badger (maybe Badger is my favourite though because Very Important Rock Work sounds like my kind of hobby.)
pickThis one is so much more bizarre than the first, but equally delightful! 💙🦖
