(3) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Christa Unzner. A group of forest animals invite Badger to help them build a house where they can all spend the winter in comfort; but Badger turns out to be such a fault-finding perfectionist that they can't work with him. Expressively lined, earth-toned illustrations occasionally obscure the text, but nonetheless enhance this cozy story about the warmth of friendship.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
