From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 2–When Badger wakes up in a bad mood, he decides that everyone should know how miserable he feels. By the time he's finished his morning walk, all of the forest animals have been treated so rudely that they are in equally foul moods and annoyed with him. By this time, his mood has changed, but the others refuse to speak to him. Blackbird comes to visit, listens sympathetically to Badger's problem, and together they come up with a solution. This rather simplistic tale lacks any texture or depth and relates a fairly obvious message. These animals inhabit a forest dominated by an aqua palette and a clean horizon, dotted here and there by an occasional tree; it's a landscape as spare as the tale. Badger bears an amazing physical resemblance to the protagonist of Hiawyn Oram's Badger's Bad Mood (Scholastic, 1998), but Oram's tale has all of the texture and charm that this story lacks.–Jane Marino, Bronxville Public Library, NY
