Illustrated by
Caroline Pedler.
Badger and his friends Mouse, Hedgehog, and Rabbit discover rope, a basket, and some cloth in the forest. It turns out they found the parts of Mole's crashed hot air balloon. Relying on teamwork, the animals rebuild the balloon and rescue their new friend from a tree. The message-heavy text of this UK import is buoyed by colorful, textured illustrations.
