On a quest to find the missing leaf, Squirrel teams up with his good friend Bird to discover who the leaf thief could be among their forest friends.</p><p>With vibrant art and captivating characters, the magic of autumn is captured beautifully on each page as readers tag along Squirrel's forest adventure.

The colors are bright and little details add a touch of humor[.] - <strong><em>Youth Services Book Review, STARRED review</em></strong></p><br>
