***Welcome to BOOK NOOK REVIEWS where I will share my thoughts (and reader rating) on a variety of children’s books…from board books and picture books to chapter books and young adult novels. Why, I might even sneak in an occasional family-friendly adult novel when I get the chance. If my review entices you to buy the book as a gift or to even add to your own home library, why not share this post with others by clicking on the social share links below!***

 

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!
