Bad Badger: A Love Story by Maryrose Wood illustrated by Giulia Ghigini*

 The opening lines made me groan and almost not want to read it (reminds me of our current culture-"Septimus was a badger.  Or was he? This was the heart of the matter.") But I continued reading because Sarah Mackenzie recommended it as one of her books of the week on RAR.

It is a delightful story about a Badger who is atypical and his friendship with a seagull, Gully. Despite their differences, they learn that being a friend requires sacrifice and unselfishness. I loved the chapter subheadings-One-'A Visit from a Friend--Septimus was not terribly used to company.'

*Highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
