Hey Duggee: The River Badge is adventure and problem-solving through a collaborative journey.
In this story, Duggee and the "Squirrels" (his group of animal scouts) must deliver a special parcel to a character named Chew Chew the Panda, who lives at the far end of a river. To get there, the group works together to:
-
Navigate a Boat: They set sail on a day-long journey, learning how to handle a vessel and follow a map.
- Overcome Obstacles: The crew faces several challenges, including swerving to avoid a water buffalo and navigating through turbulent waterfalls and rapids.
- Earn a Reward: By successfully delivering the parcel (which turns out to be biscuits for a tea party), the Squirrels demonstrate the teamwork and perseverance needed to earn their "River Badge.
Like many books in the Hey Duggee series, it emphasizes learning by doing and the importance of being active and curious about the natural world.
