Nancy Tafuri: The Busy Little Squirrel

While intended for very young readers, this wonderful story of a squirrel getting ready for winter is not only an excellent bedtime book, but should also provide much enjoyment for squirrel-loving adults as well.

Wonderfully illustrated in fall/autumn colors, our Protagonist is invited by other animals/birds to join in their fun, but he is determined to complete his mission of preparation. It's literature such as this that reminds readers both young and old of how diligent and hard-working these awe-inspiring animals are.

Originally published by Little Simon in 2007, I will always treasure my copy and heartily give The Busy Little Squirrel my highest recommendation!
