Description

Because he's sad and can't face the end of summer, Edgar Badger escapes by going to bed and staying there until his friends come around to cheer him up.

Quick Summary

Edgar Badger is so heartbroken about summer ending that he pulls the covers over his head and refuses to face the world, which is both totally relatable and goofy in that way only a grumpy cartoon animal can be. Kids will giggle as his determined friends stage a cheerful intervention, showing that sometimes the best way to beat the blues is with silly songs, silly hats, and friends who love you enough not to give up. If your kid loves the warm friendship vibes in "Pete the Cat" or "The Berenstain Bears," they'll absolutely adore Edgar's surprising turnaround. Ideal for kindergarten through second graders who are ready for a short, sweet story about feelings and the friends who help us through them.
