Title: Badger's Fancy Meal
Author: Keiko Kasza
Illustrator: Keiko Kasza
Publisher: G P Putnam's Sons
Ages 4-8

"Badger's den was full of food, but he was not happy. 'Apples, worms and roots...same old, same old,' he sighed. 'I wish I could have a fancy meal for a change.'"

Synopsis: Poor Badger has all the food he can possible want but it isn't enough. He wants more. He wants a fancy meal and he goes on an adventure to find it. At first Badger thinks Mole, Rat, and Rabbit will make a delicious meal. When each gets away from him, Badger decides to return home but boy, is he in for a big surprise!

Why you should read it: Ms. Kasza is both author and illustrator in this delightful story that children of all ages will love!  I was captivated by the "turned-down" pages artwork which allowed me to peek into another part of the story and kept me fully engaged until the very end.

Like-O-Meter Rating: 5 out of 5...Grab it!

  2. I've read many of Keiko's books and she always delivers. Her character's problems are filled with humor that kids and adults will both enjoy. Keiko's illustrations are beautiful and fun.
