Instead of stripes, he has spots.  Instead of living in the forest, he lives in a cottage by the sea.  He loves listening to operas in Italian on his phonograph, collecting shells, making omelets, watching the sunset, and other activities not at all usual for badgers.<\/p>\n<p>But then Septimus makes a friend.  A seagull comes to his house every week on Wednesday.  Gully doesn\u2019t say much besides \u201cCaw,\u201d but Septimus feels their friendship grow and become tremendously important to him \u2013 so they share things they each enjoy most.<\/p>\n<p>But when Gully goes missing, Septimus doesn\u2019t know how he will find him, simply that it must be done.<\/p>\n<p>This sweet story is about true friendship and not letting others define who you are.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryrosewood.com\/\">maryrosewood.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0DP5KCHPH\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find this review on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\">Sonderbooks<\/a> at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Childrens_Fiction\/bad_badger.html\">www.sonderbooks.com\/Childrens_Fiction\/bad_badger.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, and will earn a small percentage if you order a book on Amazon after clicking through from my site.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer:  I am a professional librarian, but the views expressed are solely my own, and in no way represent the official views of my employer or of any committee or group of which I am part.<\/p>\n<p>What did you think of this book?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad Badger by Maryrose Woodread by Chris Devon Dreamscape Media, 2025. 2 hours, 41 minutes.Review written April 24, 2025, from a library eaudiobook.Starred Review Maryrose Wood is good at writing straight-faced stories that gradually get sillier and sillier.
