When You Need a Friend

32 pp. | Tiger Tales | March, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58925-173-1 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Caroline Pedler. Badger steadies his friends' homes before a storm, but his own "mighty oak" dwelling topples. The trauma of losing a home is downplayed: Pedler's illustrations emphasize sunny pre- and post-storm weather, and Badger frowns at his loss then grins ("Every problem has a solution!") on the same spread. A feel-good but superficial tale of friends coming together to rebuild.
