This simple, cute story is written by Paul Bright and nicely illustrated by Jane Chapman. Does anyone ever feel grumpy, especially at this time of year? When the little forest animals are busy getting ready for a Christmas celebration, all
Grumpy Badger wants to do is go to bed and sleep. Every time he crawls underneath his warm comforter, someone bangs on his door and asks for something like a ladder or a string of lights. Finally Grumpy falls asleep but he dreams of his friend Mole stuck at the top of the tree. So he jumps out of bed, grabs his ladder and decides to participate in all the frivolity after all. In fact, he hosts the party!
