Graphic Universe: Mr. Badger and Mrs. Fox series.
Illustrated by
Eve Tharlet.
Sick of the long, cold winter, everyone in the Fox/Badger household is getting cross and cranky. When the Fox grandparents arrive, they suggest a carnival to banish winter. Now both children and adults are energized as they make costumes and plan the festivities. The story's pace is slow, but the animal characters that populate this picture book in graphic-novel form are appealing.
