AlbakiReads Editorial

A nut hunt interrupts a forest tour

An autumnal forest tour introduces facts about cardinals, white-tailed deer, and wood frogs—until Gray Squirrel interrupts to search for his missing nut. His hunt brings together the picture book’s comic storyline and a real squirrel behavior: caching, or storing food. Along the way, the nut search leads to an accidental tree planting. Speech-balloon dialogue supports a read-aloud format, while the back matter adds more forest facts, a food web diagram, and a bear safety song. The book pairs an animal-centered story with accessible nature information.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy picture books featuring animal characters
  • Families and educators looking for a read-aloud with forest and wildlife facts
  • Young readers curious about squirrels, food webs, and forest animals

Book overview

Welcome to the forest, where a fact-filled tour awaits. That is...until a frantic squirrel bursts onto your page searching for his misplaced nut. Help him find it in this hilarious picture book, perfect for fans of The Leaf Thief and The Interrupting Chicken.

Gray Squirrel has a problem. He can't find his nut, and he's desperate for help. So desperate that he's going to interrupt this autumnal tour of the forest, where cardinals eat berries that turn their feathers red, white-tailed deer lose their antlers, and wood frogs freeze... Yeah, all of that might be fascinating, but Squirrel needs his nut!

With a funny, exasperated hero like that of The Very Impatient Caterpillar, this meta picture book inspired by real squirrel behavior (caching!) delivers crowd-pleasing laughs as Gray Squirrel searches for his beloved nut and accidentally plants a tree. But this isn't the first lost nut, and it won't be the last...Hello, forest!

Hilarious speech-balloon dialogue makes this a dynamic and fun read-aloud--and the back of the book includes bonus educational material like additional forest facts, a food web diagram, and a bear safety song!
