Purchase options and add-ons

The leaves have started to fall. The air is cold. Squirrel needs to get ready for winter. He cannot nibble with the mice. He does not have time to hop with the frogs or run with the dogs. Will this busy little squirrel ever slow down?

Focusing on all the charming features of the fall season, this sweetly illustrated story features country animals, pumpkins, leaves, apples and other signs of autumn. Now available as a sturdy board book, the newly redesigned Classic Board Book logo calls out this title's seasonal theme on the front cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars He might have been a busy little squirrel but my littles were never too busy to hear it read.
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2023
Verified Purchase
I always focused in on the "he was so busy" on repeat in this book and my littles before they read loved to read along with each page and say "he was so busy" along with me. A great book about why a little squirrel is so hard working in preparation for Winter. Very well written and entertaining. One of my little boys favourite books to read again and again.

This is a really cute book and a quick read for a toddler who won’t sit still for long. We always read before bed but my 14-month-old gets fussy when the book is too wordy and long. This one is nice and short and he loves the pictures of the squirrel. He always giggles when I say “He was so busy!”

4.0 out of 5 stars Stunning artwork, verse could have been better
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2022
Verified Purchase
My 1 year old loves this book - there are so many animals covered - she loves looking at the cat, owl and frog. I love the stunning artwork, love the other hidden squirrels in the background. The verse could have been better - the bird says "sweet sweet" instead of tweet tweet (could be a typo). The ending is quite abrupt.

This is a very cute Fall book. My 18 mo loves it. I also love the illustrations and details like different types of bugs and animals in each page. There's alao a second squirrel working away in every scene but one has to really pay close attention to notice it. I think this book will be fun and interesting to my daughter for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars every oddler in london should have one
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 24, 2014

My little boy just loves the squirrels in the park and when I got this book he was so excited and wants to read it several times a day. He is only 20 months, but this book takes a little bit of the park every where we go. Very nicely illustrated and an added bonus is there is a second small squirrel on every page (my boy noticed it!) which makes it fun to find every time. With London being so full of these wonderful creatures - I think every London toddler should have this book. Simple text, the squirrel sees different animals throughout the book. A great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Busy Little Squirrel
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 16, 2012
Verified Purchase
Arrived quickly and in great condition. My three year old loves the story and the illustration - she particularly enjoyed watching what the squirrel in the background was doing. A nice way to explore seasons and woodland animals. My only gripe is that I thought squirrels buried things in the Autumn, but this book just shows the squirrel taking things back to his nest to store for the Winter. Also, we read that squirrels use their tails as a blanket to keep themselves warm when hibernating. It would have been nice if the illustrations included this.
