Proper Badger Would Never Trash the Classroom!




Proper Badger would never go to school . . . or would he?

Proper Badger would never go to school . . . or would he?

Proper Badger is going to school. It's possible he got on the wrong bus, but he's always wanted to go school, and after all, he looks exactly like all of the other well-behaved, well-mannered students. He can't wait to get tons of gold stars. He has heard gold stars are crunchy and delicious. He will be on his very best badger behavior.

Take a bite out of the macaroni art? Release the classroom butterflies? Have the class pet for lunch? He would NEVER!

From author Lauren Glattly and New York Times bestselling illustrator Rob Sayegh Jr. comes a hilarious tale about a well-intentioned badger whose wild instincts just can't be suppressed.
