Waking up from his winter sleep - squirrel doesn't feel like his hole in the tree is the right place anymore, and he sets out looking for a new Right Place. He asks all his friends, and gets different versions of "right place" from each of them. Put together, all their answers don't make sense for squirrel. But, with everyone helping, Squirrel turns the perfect tree into a home for everyone.
Translated from Italian, this sweet story of friendship and home was delightful. I liked the design of the book, with pictures and text alternating sides, and the illustrations were beautiful. The animals wore clothes and used tools, but otherwise behaved like animals. Looking forward to sharing this with my grandchildren.
