Entertaining and Educational.

It doesn't happen often, but on rare occassions I read a book to my preschoolers and I learn something from it. Such was the case with SQUIRRELS. After reading this delightul book to my students, I learned that squirrels can use their tails as parachutes when jumping from trees and that they also use their tails as sails when on rare occassions, they go swimming. The book not only tells the good things about squirrels, but the bad as well; something that is becoming a rarity in our ecological/politically correct landscape. The illustrations in the book are full of warmth and vigor and soothing colors. This is a great book introducing young children to the curious animal called the squirrel.
