I thought this book had a lovely message I liked it when he was tidying all the time and thought it was funny when he couldn’t get to his house. It was good to learn that the trees take some of the rain water which is why it didn’t flood when the trees were there but did flood when they weren’t.

I gave this book 3 stars because I found it was a bit boring that it was all about tidying up.

Badger learns a lesson not to keep everything tidy! You can't always keep nature 'neat'!

Tidy was really silly because he put concrete all over the forest and then said the forest was perfect.

Fantastic gamely book, a badger cleans his home and surrounding so much that it effects their daily living. He then makes the area back to hoe it was before he changed it all.

Pete was very tidy, a bit too tidy and he nearly cleaned the whole city. It was very good. It teaches me not to tidy up as much as Pete but I need to tidy up my mess. I would recommend this book

This story was a fictional story. I liked this book because the badger is the main character and he didn't want the woods to be dirty and snipped off the flower-tops and groomed the fox, hoovered the forest and he got rid of all the trees! When it was all nice and tidy he realised he couldn't find his house. I think this book is about that it's OK to be messy but at some stage you have to tidy up. Badger ended up losing his home and so animals can ended up with no home if we build things like concrete.

I liked it when Pete started putting the Forest back to how it should be.

I wasn’t happy with the Badger for cutting all the trees down, nobody had anything to eat then.

It was very interesting and Pete realised that he didn’t need to be as tidy because he wasn’t able to go into his own home.
