About This Book

A solitary badger living on the dry plains delights in digging and often tunnels into the homes of smaller neighbors. The narrative follows his nocturnal habits, encounters with creatures such as a singing coyote, ground squirrels, prairie dogs, owls, and a timid deer mouse, and episodes of mischief, mishap, and courage. Through digging escapades, a sore paw, and a sudden danger to the prairie dog village, he learns to cooperate, rescue others, and respond to a rancher’s anger, ultimately finding a new home and earning the neighbors’ respectful praise.
