School Library Journal - 08/01/2024 PreS-Gr 3—Squirrel is on the hunt for his acorn. He digs and digs to look for it but can't find it. Squirrel decides to ask his fellow woodland creatures—the skunk, the raccoon—but before they can remind him what buried acorns grow into, he moves on to the next creature. He encounters a fox, but luckily Squirrel knows to stay far away. Finally, Squirrel runs into an owl who tries to unsuccessfully direct Squirrel to where his acorn is. Even with owl's directions, Squirrel remains unaware that his acorn has started to sprout. Another acorn falls from a tree, and Squirrel, thinking it's the original acorn, is happy to be reunited. He promptly buries the new acorn, sure to start the comic events over again. The colorful digital illustrations of Squirrel and his friends are flat but entertaining as they depict Squirrel's journey. Readers will laugh at Squirrel as they see him barrel along, and will delight in knowing what he does not, that acorns grow into trees. VERDICT This funny picture book about a clueless, acornless squirrel is a solid purchase for collections.—Myiesha Speight - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
