BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

It might be the first day of spring, but it still feels like deep winter in the Quiet Woods.  Sam the squirrel, who likes to keep lists, which is very un-squirrel-like, is sent by the other animals, along with the Prince of Elks, to Mother Nature’s home to find out what the problem is. Along the way they meet Willow, who is Mother Nature’s granddaughter. 

Selfors is such an artistic chameleon.  From YA romance to elementary chapter books in loads of genres - her writing voice is always pleasant to read.  I would love to read Sam Squirrel aloud to young friends. It looks like at least one more book about Willow will be forthcoming.
