Badger's New House

by Robin Muller

Book Overview

Badger discovers there's no place like home. Badger loves his cozy little cottage. The door sticks and the shutters bang, but Badger doesn't mind-until a huge storm makes a mess of his house. He doesn't think he can fix the damage, so he sells the cottage to Grandmother Mouse and moves to a lovely mansion. But Badger feels lost and lonely in his huge new house, so he's happy when Grandmother Mouse invites him to tea. He doesn't even mind fixing the sticking door. Each time Badger visits he fixes something else, and soon the little cottage is as good as new. The only problem is that it's too small for Grandmother Mouse's family to visit. But Badger can fix that, too!

A Darling Children's Book

I just bought this book for my 5 year-old daughter and she loves it. The charming story contains some positive lessons about hard work and friendship, and introduces to children the concept that a big fancy house is not necessarily the best home for everyone; sometimes the little old cozy cottage feels more like home.The book's real strong point though is the illustrations. The art in this book is so soft and friendly looking, as well as detailed. Your child will love poring over the beautiful illustrations in this book.Highly recommended.
