The badger and his friends, the fox and the crow, receive a letter inviting them to a fire by the lake. They immediately set off on their way. As a precaution, the badger takes his toolbox with him. Along the way, they collect wood for the fire, meet a mouse who is quite beside herself, discover mushrooms that live underground, and the fox believes that the leaves of the trees eat flies.

In addition to the fun story:

• the winter song with notes
• the building instructions for a elder flute
• the clever book of the crow about forest knowledge

A book for both small and large people and for the inhabitants of the forest. For parents: Reading aloud is fun. The enchanting illustrations by the award-winning illustrator Gundega Muzikante from Riga bring joy, and the educational yet 'unpedagogical' forest knowledge is interesting for both listeners and readers.
