This series gives the youngest children and beginning readers graphic novels of their own that handle real family situations with charm, humor, and just the right point of view for the age group.
Winter is coming! Mr. Badger, Mrs. Fox, Grub, Bristle, Ginger, and Berry are hurrying to prepare their home for the big freeze. But badgers and foxes don't spend winter the same way! Mr. Badger likes to sleep most of the winter, which Grub likes very much, but that doesn't suit Ginger. She'd rather play in the snow, and Mrs. Fox decides winter is a good time to teach her daughter all about hunting! Can the new family figure out a way to spend their first winter together that will make everyone happy?
