All was quiet and still in the forest until there came a shrill scream. Someone has stolen the squirrel’s three hazelnuts. Who could cause the squirrel such distress? He accuses the mole, the mouse, the rabbit, the hamster, and the fox, who all reply, “it isn’t me.” The squirrel returns to his tree to discover his three nuts. They weren’t stolen after all. The squirrel could have hung his head in shame. He apologized to everyone and then enjoyed his hazelnuts – they were delicious! The watercolor paintings of the animals, especially the squirrel, are hilarious in this new rhyming book by the author of the Rainbow Fish series. mjw |
