Customer Reviews

Mature themes packed into delightful adventure story.

Out of the Nest represents the best recent example of what has become increasingly rare in children's literature: a mature paradigm of love, domesticity and fecundity.Told in the delightful anthropomorphic style of Beatrix Potter, this book outlines fundamental family values by chronicling one year in the life of a family of Grey Squirrels. At the center of the story lies Ephran, a young Tree Climber who inadvertently and prematurely gains his independence.The story follows Ephran through the trials of forest survival, and the process of becoming a mature adult. Most captivating is the love story which I won't spoil for you!The first in a trilogy, this book is a model demonstration of how wholesome mature themes can be impregnated into delightful children's literature.
