Such fun! What a charming little story of friendship, much like Arnold Lobel’s classic Frog & Toad series.

What a hit with my boys (7&9)! They loved this beginning chapter book so much and I had a lot of fun reading it to them. The illustrations are a delight and the friends (a skunk and a hedgehog) are adorable! Highly recommend!

This is a great friendship story and an acknowledgement of the importance of understanding one's nature while also learning to be brave in the face of our fears. Charming illustrations add to the fun!

3.5. Quite cute. At the end, five-year-old sighed and said, "I love skunks."

Odd couple roommates and friends are a classic literary trope, and Sydney and Taylor fit neatly into that category. Although Taylor enjoys the burrow they share, he also has "Big Ideas" sometimes. His latest idea is that they should leave the burrow and see new things. But Sydney is not sure about the idea and tells Taylor, "Old is better than new... And exciting is...exhausting." Still, friends support each other, so Sydney packs some supplies and Taylor gets the map to plan the path of their adventure.
Being small creatures they don't actually go very far from their home under Miss Nancy's potting shed, but it seems they have traveled the whole wide world by the time they return. They know that there are "mountains taller than a hundred hedgehogs" and "valleys wider than a thousand skunks," but they set out. Along the way there are encounters with frogs, dogs, automobiles, and fast moving streams. Finally they are safely back in their burrow to reminisce about their expedition.
Perfect for fans of Frog and Toad or other buddy stories. This is just the first in a series featuring Sydney and Taylor, so stay tuned for more fun and adventure. (Expected publication date is February 2, 2021. I read an advance copy provided by the publisher for review purposes.)

Read aloud alternating pages with G. This book was adorable, a friendship and adventure tale full of the best illustrations. Can’t wait to pick up the next one.
