An activity at the end of each book encourages creative expression and critical thinking as the reader is invited to further explore a key idea presented in the text. A high-interest introduction to the life cycle of squirrels, including how kits develop, their plant-based diet, threats from predators, and the sturdy, nested habitats of these backyard animals.
