This entertaining book opens with two young badgers, Tic and Tac, beset by boredom. They help hang the laundry for their mother and, when they run out of clothes, hang any random household object they can find. Featuring warm watercolors and attention to detail, Bagley's illustrations give readers plenty to pore over. This story injects a touch of the ridiculous into the mundane.
