Synopsis
Badger discovers there's no place like home.
Badger loves his cozy little cottage. The door sticks and the shutters bang, but Badger doesn't mind-until a huge storm makes a mess of his house. He doesn't think he can fix the damage, so he sells the cottage to Grandmother Mouse and moves to a lovely mansion.
But Badger feels lost and lonely in his huge new house, so he's happy when Grandmother Mouse invites him to tea. He doesn't even mind fixing the sticking door. Each time Badger visits he fixes something else, and soon the little cottage is as good as new. The only problem is that it's too small for Grandmother Mouse's family to visit. But Badger can fix that, too!

From School Library Journal
reSchool-Grade 2-Badger loves his old house, despite its flaws. Then one night, a bad storm damages it. Unwilling to undertake the necessary repairs, he decides it's time to move. His fancy new house is much larger than his previous one but, not surprisingly, he soon misses his cozy old place. When the new tenant, Grandmother Mouse, gently points out just one of the house's pitfalls, Badger gallantly steps in and attempts to make repairs. With each ensuing visit, his confidence grows and soon the old abode is as good as new. The final problem of space, created when Grandmother Mouse's large extended family moves in with her, is solved by a house swap, leaving Badger back home. While Muller doesn't explain why Badger is initially reluctant to repair his house, Grandmother Mouse's gentle manipulation is both amusing and convincing. The characters' costumes (a tailcoat for Badger, a long dress with a bustle for Grandmother Mouse), along with details of architecture and setting, give the book a charming, old-fashioned look. Humorous touches keep the pictures, created with watercolors and pencil crayons, from being cloying, and offer engaging details not mentioned in the text. Young readers will likely enjoy return visits to Badger's house almost as much as he does.
