Parent notes

Skunk and Badger is a delightful chapter book with a classic feel that explores themes of forgiveness, hospitality, and neighborliness. While Badger struggles with selfish tendencies and exclusionary attitudes early in the story, his clear remorse and active pursuit of reconciliation offer a strong illustration of humility and grace.

Discussion questions

1. 1When Badger realized how deeply his harsh words hurt Skunk, did his effort to search for Skunk and apologize feel like a fair way to repair their relationship, or should he have done something more?
2. 2Badger felt completely justified in guarding his peaceful routine and judging Skunk by his reputation, but how does God's word call us to treat people even when our feelings tell us to push them away?
3. 3Which character demonstrated better friendship throughout their time together—Skunk with his enthusiastic generosity or Badger through his eventual willingness to change his ways?
4. 4Describe your favorite moment involving the chickens or Badger's rock work, and explain what made that particular scene stick in your memory.
