Eve Tharlet.
After Davy's grandfather's threadbare soccer ball loses all of its stuffing, the gang decides to take on the Big Bad Badgers in hopes of winning the prize: "a brand new ball just like the pros use." There's not much tension in this good-natured story of hard work and perseverance. Expressive illustrations show likable Davy rallying his pals to victory.
