Caldecott Honor winner David Ezra Stein’s lively tale is a fantastic read-aloud, and feisty Mama Squirrel will have fierce mamas everywhere applauding!
Ol’ Mama Squirrel has raised lots of babies, and she knows just how to protect them. Whenever trouble comes nosing around, she springs into action with a determined “Chook, chook, chook!” and scares trouble away. Her bravery is put to the test, however, when a really big threat wanders into town and onto her tree. But no matter what, Mama’s not about to back down!

By Ana Lee Wade
This is the cutest book ever. My grandkids love this and want to read it all the time. They love the single word the squirrel says to scare away the creatures trying to invade his tree and his squirrel family. It is so funny and your kids will enjoy it over and over. Pictures are so cute.

By Lacy2711
I read this no less than 4 times to my niece in a two day span. She loved it! Great story for kids to follow along and pertinent to this time of year when Squirrels are nesting with their young and seem to be yelling at passersby in the park that get too close to their trees. Really lets kids know that squirrels (and all animals) are great parents and should be left alone to raise their babies naturally. The images in this book were also fantastic. Would highly recommend it!
