REVIEW

A good picture book is a marriage of words and pictures. This is a wonderful marriage.
There are three poems:
* The Nutty Squirrel talks about squirrels and their habit in engaging rhymes.
"Acorns and nuts are what fat squirrels munch high up in a warm cosy hollow" (You'll have to read the book to find out what follows.)
*Kitty Kat is a paean to Cat Lovers. "But know that they own you for all of your days because cats make the rules of the game." Any cat lover and anyone owned by a cat will enjoy this.
*Bumblebee Buzzers gave me some facts about Bumble Bees that were new to me. Again the word choices are ideal: "Plump, stripey body -- so perfect for "bumbling"
And the pictures! They are an exquisite complement to the text. Let me just say I would like a framed print of every picture. The colors and detail are wonderful. I am a jigsaw puzzle lover. I would also like them made into jigsaw puzzles. They would be so much fun to do. This is a beautiful book.

EXCERPT
Acorns and nuts are what fat squirrels munch,
High up in a warm cozy hollow.
They'll bury some nuts, and eat others for lunch,
Until they are too full to swallow.
