The Badger Traffic Warden

Barnaby Quill

A badger in a bright yellow vest stands in the middle of the forest road, blowing her whistle at racing rabbits and telling hedgehogs where to cross. Beryl takes her new job very seriously, even when squirrels steal her lunch and owls stage a midnight protest about noise rules. For ages 5 to 8 who like animals with human jobs and small acts of bravery. The chapters are short and full of funny forest chaos. Sadie Bracken reads with a warm, busy voice, plenty of bustle, and just the right huff when Beryl is cross. Good for car rides or winding down after school.
