AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

When a squirrel who is enjoying her beautiful autumn day by counting her leaves notices that one is missing, she looks everywhere, asks a friends to help, even asks the mouse if the leaf his is using is the missing leaf. His friend the bird explains that it is perfectly natural to lose leaves this time of year, but squirrel is even more upset the next day, as even more leaves seem to be gone. Squirrel is a wreck. 

 That crazy squirrel! Told in dialogue between the forest friends, this introduction to the changing seasons is a cute story with silly illustrations. Includes more information about autumn and squirrels at the end.
