Highly Commended for the Children's Wainwright Prize for Picture Books.

Join in all the woodland fun with this funny picture book with an important environmental message, starring Pete the Badger, star of Emily Gravett's award-winning books Tidy and Too Much Stuff!. (We promise no bugs were harmed in the making of this book!)


Pete the Badger is choosing a delicious recipe from his new fruit cookbook when his peace is interrupted by a teeny tiny fly. The fly becomes a swarm and soon all the animals are being bothered by bugs and insects of all kinds . . . before helping Pete to rid the forest of every single one. Disaster! Now nobody's around to clean up the poo, and come autumn, there's not a berry or a cherry to be found. But the lesson is learned, the bugs are released, and order is restored to the forest once again.

Richly detailed, wonderfully humorous illustrations will keep readers coming back for more, and this gorgeous book features some very easy fruit-based recipes for everyone to enjoy.

Twice Kate Greenaway Medal winner Emily Gravett's delightful rhyming story is a colourful celebration of nature's equilibrium and promises fun, laughter and learning. The perfect book to read aloud.
