Bookroo's summary

Badger wakes up grumpy and decides to make sure everyone knows it. As he stomps through the forest, his sour mood infects his friends, turning their days upside down. Can anyone break the cycle of grumpiness, or will Badger's bad mood take over the whole forest? This humorous tale explores the ripple effect of emotions and the power of a single mood to change everything.

From the publisher

Sometimes a bad mood can be contagious! Badger got up one morning feeling very grumpy. “Humph!” Badger said to himself. What was the point of being in a bad mood if nobody noticed? he thought. So Badger headed out, slamming the door behind him. Badger spreads his bad mood far and wide, greeting all his friends with angry, rude remarks that put them in bad moods, too. A comical, cautionary tale for anyone who has ever gotten up on the wrong side of the bed.
