Mental Images: Badgers makes a mental image of a mole taco, a rat burger, and a rabbit banana split. The expression in his eyes on the cover indicate that he is imagining something. This is a great book to introduce making a mental image to young readers.
Drawing Conclusions: After Badger saw the note and realized that he had caused the other animals to hide in his hole, what conclusion do you think Badger will draw from his actions?
Cause and Effect: Because Badger chased the animals when he was trying the eat them, the effect is that they hid in his hole and ended up eating the food that he had.
Sequencing: With only three animals beside the Badger, it would be a good story to sequence the events with young readers.
