Tidy
CCBC Review:
Rhyming nonsense humor showcases an obsessively tidy badger who goes to extremes with tidying up the forest. Ultimately, he digs up all the trees and paves over the forest floor, but then, finding nothing to eat, he has to break up all the cement and restore the forest back to its natural, messy state. There’s a conservation message of sorts here but the story is so zany, it doesn’t hit readers over the head. The quick-paced text and clear illustrations make this a great choice for a preschool read-aloud. And don’t miss the copyright page at the end where the tidy badger is vacuuming up the cataloging-in-publication data. ©2017 Cooperative Children's Book CenterIllustrated by Emily Gravett
