Ol’ Mama
Squirrel is very protective of her babies. She makes sure to “Chook, Chook,
Chook” and chase off everything from cats to owls to kites! But one day she
faces her biggest challenge –a bear. Will Ol’ Mama Squirrel be able to protect
her babies, all by herself?
Filled will
adorable illustrations filled with subdued earthy colors, that are a perfect calming
counterfoil for the temper of bold squirrel Mama. Both the illustrations and
text are presented in a variety of creative ways . There is a wonderful message
here as well. My only qualm is the thought of a
read-aloud having to say “Chook, Chook, Chook” one too many times!
