Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2-An appealing tale with an important message about safety. Filbert, an energetic gray squirrel wearing a red sweater and green beret, has several close calls because he forgets to look both ways before going into the street. After he survives a particularly harrowing dodge during which "Tires turn!/Rubber burns!" and "Fenders bend," he finally and tearfully gets the message. The fast pace and simple rhyme scheme of the narrative will quickly engage young readers. Rendered in ink and watercolor, the illustrations use warm autumn hues to depict adorable animal characters. The squirrels are clothed in quaint costumes that give a nostalgic tone to the pictures. Weidner does a good job of juxtaposing the enormity of the vehicles on the streets with the fragility of little Filbert. This story could be used both to entertain and to teach.-Corrina Austin, Locke's Public School, St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada

Product Description

Sometimes even squirrels need a lesson in safety!

Filbert the squirrel loves to play soccer with his friends, but when his mother asks him to run an errand, he dashes right off. Filbert is always careful to avoid the neighborhood cat, but-Skip-leap! Hip-hop!-he has so much fun running up telephone poles and bouncing through the leaves, he forgets to look both ways when he gets to the street. That is, until a close encounter makes him think twice! With bouncing rhymes and cheery illustrations, this is the perfect picture book for any child in need of a little reminder to look both ways.

4.0 out of 5 stars LESSON TO BE LEARNED IN THIS STORY, July 31, 2005

As parents how often have we reminded our children "to look both ways"? That caution is so frequently repeated that young ones probably tend to tune it out (along with much other sage parental advice, I'm sure). Nonetheless, this important habit is presented in such a fun, colorful manner in "Look Both Ways" that young ones may very well remember it.

Filbert, a young squirrel, is out playing soccer on a cool, crisp fall day when the soccer ball slides into the street. Running to retrieve it, Filbert is having far too much fun to look both ways.

His mother is at home in an old oak tree making acorn soup. She realizes that she doesn't have enough acorns so she asks Filbert to run to Granny's house and bring some back. She tells him to hurry, but also to be sure and look both ways.

Well, Filbert is such a jolly little rascal and so thoroughly enjoys everything he does that he forgets to look both ways when he crosses the street. On his way home with the acorns he's eager to return to his soccer game so he doesn't look for the cat who suddenly clamps a paw on his tail. Once he escapes from the cat he totally ignores a Stop sign on the next street corner and scurries out into traffic.

What happens to Filbert next is a good lesson for all children who are in too much of a hurry to observe safety rules. (Don't worry, it all ends well so youngsters will not be frightened - they'll just smile at Filbert's antics and hopefully learn a valuable lesson).

5.0 out of 5 stars Rollicking rhymes and fun drawings liven up and lighten up this "cautionary tale", September 11, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Filbert the squirrel loves to play soccer with his friends, and he likes to run around the neighborhood on errands, too. In fact, he's having so much fun he forgets to look both ways when dashing across the street. Rollicking rhymes and fun drawings liven up and lighten up this "cautionary tale".
