About This Book:
A lively, humorous counting book featuring a kid trying to keep up with a load of sassy squirrels.
Some days it seems like there are squirrels everywhere! When a curious little girl decides she must find out exactly how many there are, her mission has her searching high and low, counting squirrels all over town. Only problem is, these frisky squirrels sure move around. Will she ever get a grip on the squirrely squirrel number situation?
In this lively count-along book, Ben Gundersheimer’s playful rhyming text, based on a song from his album Pizza for Breakfast, pairs perfectly with Marcos Almada Rivero’s funny, eye-catching illustrations. As children marvel over our heroine’s persistence, they will have fun spotting oodles of rambunctious squirrels.

Can You Help Dognut Count the Threats?
The rhyme in this is fine, and the text is limited, which makes it a fast read aloud. This is a good thing if the book becomes a favorite! After reading this, I realized that my knowledge of counting books is fairly limited; I don’t think Gag’s Millions of Cats is really a “counting” book! Lynge’s Counting Arctic Animals, Drago’s Monsters Play… Counting and Lake’s 1,2,3…Animals would be good companions to this one. Of course, to really balance things out, Barclay’s Counting Dogs or the fantastic 100 Dogs: Playful Pups to Count by Michael Whaite are a good balance!
