Pete the Badger likes everything "just so." He tidies and tidies all over the forest until everything is clean as can be. But then when autumn comes...a leaf falls. Well in fall, lots of leaves fall! Pete's tidying reaches outrageous proportions, with some unexpected consequences for himself and his forest friends. Luckily Pete is a responsible forest dweller, and he and his friends work hard to set things right. Gravett's classic illustrations and rhyming text create an engaging read aloud that encourages responsible environmental behavior. And honestly, the layered cut-out cover is to die for!
