A hilarious picture book about a very hungry, and rather unlucky, badger in search of a sandwich – with a wickedly funny twist in the tale

One day, a boy drops his sandwich in a sandpit, and the race is on! A very hungry badger wants it, but he’s just not quick enough. The sandwich is dropped, squashed and slithered over by everyone from a squirrel, to a fox, to a band of slugs. Will the badger ever get his paws on that sandwich? And will he even want it if he does, or will it just be too disgusting?

  • Children will love the ‘yuck factor’ of the ending, when the badger ditches the sandwich in favour of slurping up all the slimy slugs
  • Beautifully written with satisfying repetition and a refrain children will love joining in with
  • Gorgeous illustrations by Hannah Shaw bring this funny picture book to life in glorious, quirky detail
