In a flash I saw commotion There was movement in these ferns. Silently the silence came, Was it the end of my world? I shouted out in fear, 'Who's there?' 'It's me,' said Mr. Squirrel. love this.

Now I’m gonna be running through songs in my head all day, but I always thought De La Soul’s “Tread Water” was pretty much already a picture book:

As I walked along my journey,
I thought ‘What have I just learned?”
In a flash I saw commotion
There was movement in these ferns.
Silently the silence came,
Was it the end of my world?
I shouted out in fear, ‘Who’s there?’
‘It’s me,’ said Mr. Squirrel.
