The format and woodland animals suggest the British Medici Press books by Racey Helps, Molly Brett, Margaret Tempest and other author/illustrators.  They specialized in anthropomorphic animal tales with beautiful, detailed illustrations over fairly extensive text.   Most are quite old, but have been reprinted frequently.  Perhaps she read a recent reprint.  Badgers were common characters. 

I had a collection of these (of course), but recently passed them along to my grand-nieces.  I'll ask their mom if it rings a bell.

In a pinch, Johnny Gruelle sprinkled lovely fairies all over his non-Raggedy Ann stories.  Not that he is recent or UK, but reprints have been coming out over the last 10-20 years.  Thornton Burgess did picture-over-story animal tales, usually tri-color illustrations in red, black, and white, but I don't recall any fairies.

Subject: [njyac] Need help determining a children's book

A few weeks ago I asked for suggestions about a children's book I was trying to locate for a customer. She does not know the title but gave me clues. We didn't have much luck, but her clues have changed so I'm trying again:
 
It has a woodland theme, about animals (probably includes badgers). Top half of page is illustrations and bottom half is text. There is a small fairy (not elf) pictured at the bottom of each page, having nothing to do with the actual story. It may or may not have a Christmas theme. Published most likely in England, roughly 5-10 years ago tops.
 
Any leads are much appreciated!
