The Fox and the Badger

In a bright meadow, Finn the fox and Benny the badger live as close neighbors. Finn's sharp amber eyes catch every detail above ground, while Benny carries a map of every tunnel running beneath it. On a grassy hill the two often trade stories, each admiring what the other can do.

One afternoon a cry for help rises from below: young Molly the mole has lost her way in the dark tunnels. Benny takes up his lantern and Finn lends his keen sight, and the pair set off into the winding passages together. Narrow gaps, blocked routes and uncertain moments test them, yet they keep moving by matching Benny's knowledge of the paths with Finn's knack for spotting clues. Jane MEADOW shows how their differences become their strength. This gentle tale of adventure and kindness can be read on Kids Tale Book.
