5.0 out of 5 stars I teach 4 year olds, and this is a favorite!, November 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: A Squirrel's Tale (Hardcover)

I teach a preschool class of 4 year olds, and they love this book! They love me to read it to them, then they always want to manipulate the squirrel through the various pages as it looks for its hidden nuts. The story is easy to follow, with colorful pictures. It is always a favorite every year in my class. The kids have just about worn out our school's copy! I would highly recommend it for any preschool child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, while sharpening the fine motor skills ., August 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: A Squirrel's Tale (Hardcover)

This book can entertain children(adults too!) of all ages, but is best suited for the pre-schooler. A removable suirrel who has a slot on every page to slip through goes on a journey to find his nuts, asking all the animals in the forrest along the way. He even gets tangled in a spiders web. It encourages fine motor skills and will make even the most active preschooler sit still. A must for every home with a child under 5!!! Once it is read the same thing is always said, "Let's do it again!"

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique gift book -- lots of fun, October 28, 2002

A Book Lover (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Squirrel's Tale (Hardcover)

In this story a squirrel can't remember where he has stored his nuts and sets off to find them. Your 3 or 4 year old child will have lots of fun pushing the squirrel (located in a see-through pouch on the cover) through a slot on each page as the search unfolds. The dialogue in the story seems weak to me, but the novelty of pushing that squirrel through that slot seems to make up for it -- at least for my kids. This is a nice book to give as a gift as it is rather unique and not likely to be something that the recipient will already have.
