And there's usually a kerfuffle (the clue's in the name really). This particular kerfuffle started the day Stinkbomb's twenty dollar bill went missing. Stinkbomb and his little sister Ketchup-Face know exactly who took it: the badgers. After all, they're called \u003cb\u003ebad\u003c\/b\u003egers because they do \u003cb\u003ebad\u003c\/b\u003e things; otherwise they'd just be \u003cb\u003egers\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e They bring news of the badgers' treachery to King Toothbrush Weasel (don't get us started on the story behind his name...), who sends them on a quest to rid the land of badgers. What follows is a full on kerfuffle-fest, containing: one deep dark forest, a grocery cart in distress, a song about jam--and, of course, a band of very tricky badgers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBe prepared to laugh your socks off, and maybe your ears, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Dougherty was born in Larne, Northern Ireland. He studied psychology at university and then tried his hand at a number of jobs including YMCA hostel worker, factory machine operator, and unsuccessful singer-songwriter, before becoming a primary school teacher (elementary school teacher if you're in the United States, which he wasn't). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile John was teaching, his interest in children's literature was reawakened and he soon began writing stories and pestering publishers with them. His books have been shortlisted for a number of prestigious awards - and one was chosen by \u003ci\u003eThe London Times\u003c\/i\u003e as one of the Best Children's Books of the Year 2011 - but, more importantly, they make children giggle.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Puffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50656132497682,"sku":"9781101996638","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a6714001-91f5-45ea-85c1-31f7fc756da6.jpg?v=1733385509","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/stinkbomb-and-ketchup-face-and-the-badness-of-badgers-9781101996638","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
