"A laugh out loud silly mystery young readers will love!"--
KidsBookshelf"Ryland’s
tongue-in-cheek “mystery” will entertain young listeners. Accompanied by a smattering of narration, the comic-panel-style illustrations depict the animals’ dialogue in colors that match their fur (or feathers). The digitally created illustrations resemble watercolor and colored pencil and feature big-eyed cartoon forest creatures.
A whimsical whodunit." --

"
Readers will laugh at Squirrel as they see him barrel along, and will delight in knowing what he does not, that acorns grow into trees. This
funny picture book about a clueless, acornless squirrel is
a solid purchase for collections." --
