Rock Paper Incisors is a beautifully written and illustrated book featuring friends Skunk & Badger. Released 14th Oct 2025 by Hachette on their Young Readers imprint, it's 192 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats. Paperback format due out 1st Sept 2026 from the same publisher. It's worth
noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents
as well as interactive links.
This
is a rollicking and fun book with surprisingly deep takeaways. Aimed at
young readers circa 8-12 years old, there are solid lessons about
friendship, personal growth, kindness, boundaries, found family, and learning to work
together.
Although
ostensibly written as a read-alone for 7-12 year olds, this would also
be a superlative choice for a read-along or library
circle/activity read (maybe with a question and answer discussion
afterwards). It would also be a great choice for a read-to-me
adult/child bedtime story. There is also wide scope for some silly
voices and sound effects.
Five stars. Charming, original, well written and beautifully illustrated.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
