Heartwarming

This is a very heartwarming story that provides an invaluable lesson for readers of all ages. The wonderful illustrations give a wonderful touch to a tender tale.

The perfect father's day story.

Amid colorful, tender and beautiful illustrations comes a heartwarming tale of a relationship between father and son. Meet Old Badger and his spirited Little Badger as they share their knowledge of the badger ways. Little Badger has much to learn despite his youthful enthusiasm. The tenderness shared between the two is skillfully rendered in the detailed works of first-time illustrator LeUyen Pham. This book is highly recommended for sons and fathers, grandsons and grandfathers or anyone of us who has ever learned a trick or two from an "Old Badger."

Pass on the love!

Old Badger may not be able to jump, roll, or climb like he used to, but there are still some tricks he can teach Little Badger, and he's delighted to do so. Warm, patient, and caring, Old Badger takes the time to be with Little Badger and to share his years of experience. A heartwarming, father/child relationship is explored through Bunting's splendid use of dialogue and modeling. A young child's version of Eve's The Man Who Could Call Down Owls or Kristine Franklin's The Old, Old Man and the Very Little Boy.
