Written and Illustrated by Cassandra Federman
Gray Squirrel Loses It! is a fun story about a squirrel who loses his nut. What I really loved about this book was the hidden information beyond the general story. Readers can spend a long time in the book discovering different facts about the forest and the different creatures that live there. There’s even a page with further information in the back, including bear safety, word definitions, and even a food web. I think young readers will love the silly squirrel and story, and older readers could dive in even deeper and learn some new things. This would also be a fun read aloud as the narrator and Squirrel interact throughout the story. It’s a great opportunity for puppets or fun voices.
