Description

With its distinctive collage art style, this book follows squirrels and their daily activities: climbing, storing seeds, making homes in tree holes--maybe even flying! Discover squirrels of different kinds and colors as they scamper, eat, and--finally--sleep. Gorgeous illustrations and a lyrical text are combined in another winning title from this star-studded author-illustrator pair.

Apt verse and appealing visuals provide young naturalists with a springboard for discussion and further discovery. --Kirkus Reviews
