Badger is in such a bad mood that all the animals are most concerned. Badger the dependable has become Badger the cross. Mole, who knows him best, comes up with the solution. He invites all the woodland animals to a big awards ceremony. Everyone gets a prize for something, but Badger gets more than anyone else - for knowing what to do in a crisis, for always being there for others, etc. Badger comes out of his depression when he understands how much he is loved. And then the party begins! Wonderfully sensitive illustrations.
