BADGER AND FOX introduces an unusual pair of den mates. Badger is organized, responsible, and thoughtful. Fox is spontaneous, spunky, and irrepressible. Still, the two are best friends, and, together with their forest neigbors, enjoy a year full of adventures. Each adventure is tied to a particular time of the year, and each has its comic turns and special satisfactions. Modelled loosely on THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS, BADGER AND FOX gives children a chance to explore a world in which friendship and team work can meet any challenge. Enhanced by expressive full-color illustrations, the stories help children in the early grades develop important personal strengths - in dealing with disappointments, facing scary situations, and making room for new friends. Read aloud, they both entertain and teach by example. As an early chapter book, they gently stretch the reader's vocabulary, synthax, and self-confidence.
