Egg Marks the Spot: A Skunk and Badger Story (Hardback)

Buried in the heart of every animal is a secret treasure. For rock scientist Badger it's the Spider Eye Agate he found as a cub stolen years ago by his crafty cousin Fisher. For Badger's roommate Skunk the treasure is Sundays with the New Yak Times Book Review. When an old acquaintance Mr. G. Hedgehog announces his plan to come for the Book Review as soon as it thumps on the doorstep Skunk decides an adventure will solve Badger's problems as well as his own. Surprisingly Badger agrees. Together they set off on an agate-finding expedition at Badger's favourite spot on Endless Lake. But all is not as it seems at Campsite #5. Fisher appears unexpectedly. Then a chicken arrives who seems intent on staying. Something is up! Indeed! Secrets betrayals lies ... and a luminous late-Jurassic prize. In a volume that includes full-colour plates and additional black-and-white illustrations by Caldecott medalist Jon Klassen Newbery Honor author Amy Timberlake takes readers on a second adventure in the new series reviewers have called an instant classic with comparisons to Frog and Toad Winnie-the-Pooh and The Wind in the Willows.
