The Twist-A-Roo

A modern spin on "The Ant and the Grasshopper," this warm-spirited, woodland tale celebrates the power of community and coming together to share in times of need.

Winter is fast approaching the forest and everyone is storing food for a long hibernation, except Badger who is determined to find something fun to play with during the cold months ahead. After poking around in people town, Badger finds a Twist-a-Roo. It makes flashy shapes, splashy shapes, and shapes that slide and slip! It's perfect for brightening Badger's den with lots of color. But when the snow starts piling on deeper and deeper, Badger's cupboards go bare! All that razzle dazzle can't fill her belly. Then...knockity-knock. Someone's at the door!

From the creators of The Thingity-Jig, this cozy, cuddle-up tale from Kathy Doherty is lovingly illustrated by Kristyna Litten with enchanting details for little ones to discover.
