A Squirrel's Tale...

This book is a favorite of many toddlers and preschoolers! This lively and engaging story takes the reader through Mr. Squirrel's search for the nuts he hid for the winter. It comes with a little cardboard squirrel that your child can slip through slots in the pages. This is great for pre-reading skills in the following ways:
  • Holding the squirrel develops the same fine motor skills necessary for a child to learn to hold a pencil
  • Following the dotted line teaches pre-writing skills
  • The squirrel's track always goes from left to right, teaching a child that we read from left to right
  • The child learns to turn one page at a time. If he turns multiple pages at once the squirrel gets lost!
This fun story will have your child begging you to sit and read with him over and over again!
