Hello, Squirrels! round leafy nest, so tiny and new, all pink and helpless,"through all the seasons--"chit chit chattering in the leafy summer trees," burying nuts in the fall, and soaring and leaping adding "life andgrace to the winter trees and air." While introducing young children to the life cycle of gray squirrels, the simple lyrical text also offers interesting tidbits such as the many ways squirrels use their tails--including for steering and balancing as they leap and climb and "oops! like a parachute--puffed out just in time." Gay Holland's lively and appealing illustrations depict squirrels that have personality and charm yet are also scientifically accurate. In addition to the main text, in the back of the book, readers find the answers to a few common questions such as, "How many kinds of squirrels are there in the world?" and "How far can a gray squirrel leap?"
