The Nature Kid's Guide to Badgers: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Badgers! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898181574)

Scratch! Sharp claws tear into the earth and dirt flies everywhere. A stocky, striped face pokes out of a hole. That's a badger, and it just dug that tunnel faster than you could with a shovel.

If your child loves tough, fearless animals, badgers are the ultimate underdog. These stocky little diggers build underground homes with over 50 entrances, eat hundreds of worms in a single night, and fight off animals twice their size without backing down.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Badgers" is written for curious kids ages 7 to 12 who want to know what makes these bold, black-and-white creatures so special. How can they smell 800 times better than a human? Why do coyotes team up with them to hunt? And how does their loose, baggy skin help them escape an attacker's bite?

Short sentences and jaw-dropping facts fill every page. Your child will discover that badgers can sleep for up to 29 hours at a time in winter, run backward into their dens to escape danger, and spray stinky musk from glands near their tails. They'll learn how mother badgers teach their cubs to dig for food on nighttime trips and how some setts have been passed down for hundreds of years.

A book for kids who love tough animals and the hidden underground worlds they call home.

One badger. One dark burrow. A whole book full of wild secrets your child will want to share.

The Nature Kid's Guide series makes learning about nature an adventure, one animal at a time.
