Proper Badger Would Never Trash the Classroom!

40 pp. | Flamingo | July, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9780593528198 $18.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rob Sayegh Jr.. Proper Badger (from Proper Badger Would Never!) is going to school (inadvertently, having boarded the wrong bus). The text enumerates poor (and sometimes extreme) classroom behaviors that Proper Badger “assuredly...undeniably...obviously did NOT” do—while the childlike illustrations humorously make clear that the text is protesting too much. Pure silliness, with perhaps some reassurance for those apprehensive about school that at least they know not to...say...eat the class pet.
