The engaging Mr. Badger and Mrs. Fox graphic-novel series, about a blended forest family and four stepsiblings' efforts to get along, continues to provide both age-appropriate complexity and sweet watercolor artwork. Although the lesson in this episode is the importance of working together over going it alone, the involving plot is not overshadowed by its moral: Bristle and his stepsister Ginger can't agree on the best boat to build, so they compete--while Grub joins with friends in a group effort. Be sure to pick up the earlier volumes (The Meeting and A Hubbub, both 2010), as all will be popular. --Booklist -- Journal (2/15/2011 12:00:00 AM)
