Bookroo's summary

Badger's tranquil life is upended when a notorious bully, Big Bad Bully Goat, invades his burrow. Even Badger's bravest friends are too frightened to intervene. Just as all hope seems lost, an unlikely ally emerges, challenging the notion that size determines strength. Will this surprising turn of events help Badger reclaim his home? Discover the twist in this retelling of a classic Iberian tale.

From the publisher

Badger is happy living in his tidy burrow, until one day when Billy Goat moves in and Badger is too scared to ask him to leave, when help comes from an unexpected corner.
