Customer Reviews

Love this Author!

My son (2 years old) loves all the books by this author. He is very active and his attention span is not long, but these books really grab him and he wants to read them over and over. "Nuts to You" is perfect for NYC dwellers!

Great book about squirrels.

I got this to enhance a fall theme for my preschool class. After reading, it doesnt really fit great. It is a good book but it isnt one of my favorites.

Adorable Pics

I got this book for my daughter at a public library when we were temporarily living in Greenbelt, MD--a total squirrel haven. She was just about 20 months old and was fascinated by all the squirrels running around during the spring and early summer. This book was perfect to talk about squirrels and their environment. Although, gotta say, it's not so great to have your toddler going around shouting, "Nuts to you!" to strangers.

A two year old's favorite

I am a two and a half year old boy. I go to a parent-toddler class with my mommy, and my teacher read this story to the class. The pictures captured my interest immediately. The storyline is compelling. But the most fun part is the new vocabulary I've learned from it. I adore this book and I read it several times a day at home (I memorized the text after my teacher and my parents read it dozens of times for me). I'll never look at a squirrel the same way again!

Nuts for Everyone!

This book is great. It tells the story of a boy who has a squirrel come into his room through a hole in a window screen. The story isn't too wordy, and you can get extra info on plants and animals throughout the story in smaller print. The book is funny also, which parents and children should enjoy. Wonderful illustrations.
