BAD BADGER Bad Badger, Book 1

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Chris Devon

Children Ages 8+ • 2.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2025

English narrator Chris Devon provides a warm background while bringing to life the characters in this simple and compelling tale of friendship. While Septimus loves listening to opera in his cottage by the sea, he knows that he's a bad badger--and even questions whether he's a badger at all. For these reasons, he's both relieved and happy when a gull begins visiting him. The possibility of an actual friend is thrilling. However, Gully's disappearance opens up many questions and propels Septimus to look for answers. Devon provides character to the one-word seagull and infuses Septimus with emotions ranging from anxiety to joy. Listeners will appreciate this story of a developing friendship and the realistic bumps along the way. E.J.F.
