Is teamwork impossible for these brothers and sisters? Badger brothers Grub and Bristle want to build a boat with their friends, but their new fox sister Ginger always tries to take charge. Everyone has a different idea about what to do. Bristle wants to build a kayak. Ginger wants a sailboat. And baby sister Berry wants to help, but she can't even swim. Soon all they've built is a big argument. The only way to decide whose idea is best is to have a race down the river! Will the race prove one of them right, or will teamwork win the day?

"The engaging Mr. Badger and Mrs. Fox graphic-novel series, about a blended forest family and four stepsiblings' efforts to get along, continues to provide both age-appropriate complexity and sweet watercolor artwork. Although the lesson in this episode is the importance of working together over going it alone, the involving plot is not overshadowed by its moral: Bristle and his stepsister Ginger can't agree on the best boat to build, so they compete--while Grub joins with friends in a group effort. Be sure to pick up the earlier volumes (The Meeting and A Hubbub, both 2010), as all will be popular." --Booklist
