Blue Badger by Huw Lewis Jones illustrated by Ben Sanders

 

When you open this book it is essential to stop and carefully look at the title page because this is where you will discover how a black and white (or white and black) badger can also be blue.

Badger has an urgent question - Who am I?  He sets off to ask an assortment of animals all of whom are also black and white (or white and black). He asks a bird who has no answer but the bird needs help with to untangle some cords from his leg. He asks a black and white dog who also has no answer but the dog would love a friend who can play ball. 

Then he asks a black and white cow, a skunk, a zebra, and a panda. Then he heads off to the ocean and meets an orca whale and a penguin. When badger emerges from his swim with the penguin his blue bottom is gone. Now turn the page and enjoy the surprise.

Here is another book to add to your "who am I" and "where do I fit in" collection.
