Little Badger, Terror of the Seven Seas

Eve Bunting. Harcourt Children's Books, $15 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-15-202395-9

The duo from Can You Do This, Old Badger? is back, this time for some heavy-duty fantasy play as the eponymous hero dresses up as a fearsome pirate in Little Badger, Terror of the Seven Seas by Eve Bunting, illus. by LeUyen Pham. Paintings in a woodsy palette brim with a sense of endless possibilities, making this book a fitting tribute to the timeless power of pretend. ( May)
