My 7 year old, who loves art & wildlife, was really intrigued by the illustrations and how they "made you know the animals feelings." She just laughed out loud now recalling the characters confusion about what snow really looks like. And she said "tell those people that book is great too!"

They just cackled with laughter. The mother commented on the illustrations and how they made it look like the squirrel was actually running around the pages.
