animals, but she is too busy to dally. Very soon she will give birth, and she's on a mission to find a place
big enough to dig her nesting chamber. Readers will enjoy this story and learn a great deal about badgers and the other animals that appear throughout. The book is illustrated and paperback. This book is part of the Smithsonian's Backyard series which explores the daily
