Be the Acorn by Jason Douglas Griffin - NO

Be the Acorn by Jason Douglas Griffin
. PICTURE BOOK. Roaring Brook (Macmillan), SEPTEMBER 2026. $20. 9781250417220

BUYING ADVISORY: NOT RECOMMENDED

When his family tells Choko Choko that he is too small to help them look for a new home, he is unhappy and then angry and then frustrated. Great HaHa helps him work through his feelings.

I feel like the author doesn't know anything about the relative sizes of squirrels or acorns, nor anything about the time it takes to grow an oak tree. The color palette is monochromatic and dull.
