THE SQUIRRELS WHO SQUABBLED
From Rachel Bright, the bestselling mind behind The Lion Inside, comes a riotous rhyming caper that's as fun to read aloud as it is to look at. Cyril and Bruce are two squirrels with one shared obsession: the very last nut of the season. It's a small prize, but to these two, it might as well be gold. What follows is a madcap chase through the forest, bouncing past trees, over boulders, along a river, and straight to the edge of a rather terrifying waterfall. Suddenly, cooperation doesn't seem like such a bad idea. This laugh-out-loud story wraps a genuine lesson about sharing and friendship inside a genuinely entertaining adventure, never feeling preachy or forced. The rhymes clip along at a satisfying pace, making it a real pleasure for parents reading aloud (for the fourth time that evening). Now available as a sturdy board book, it's built for small, enthusiastic hands. Critics have praised it warmly, with comparisons to Julia Donaldson and glowing nods from Parents in Touch, The Bookbag, and The School Librarian. Whether your little one has a competitive streak or a sibling rivalry on the go, this one will hit close to home, in the best possible way.
