PreS-Gr 2–Time to celebrate spring, in 2023, with this reissue to welcome it. Mick, Mack, and Molly—adorable squirrel siblings—explore the woods. They discover that caterpillars like to eat leaves and bees like to suck nectar from the blossoms, but what can they feed a hungry young chick?

VERDICT Iwamura’s book has not aged a bit in this reissue and will find its way to many a new reader.
