The Book 



Badger wakes up one morning in a foul mood and decides to let everyone know exactly how he feels.  Why keep it to himself he thinks?  He storms out the door with a bang and every one of his friends gets a piece of his mind.  He is rude and angry towards them and they are stunned at Badger's impolite behaviour.  Badger's bad manners cause his friends to be in bad moods too.  


How can civility and friendship be restored in the forest?  Badger's repentant heart finds a way to make that happen.  The illustrations are fantastic showing lots of emotion and detail.  This life lesson is great for both young and old to take to heart and implement.  I love the book and highly recommend it.
