Have You Seen My Acorn?

Ages 4 to 8, Grades P to 3

Perfect for fans of the bestselling The Leaf Thief, this is a humorous picture book about a squirrel who enlists the help of his woodland friends as he searches for his missing acorn!

Squirrel dug and dug, but he couldn't find it. Which could only mean one thing  . . . someone took his acorn! 

So he asks Deer. And Skunk. And Racoon. And even Fox! But nobody has seen his acorn! And when Owl pipes up with a meandering monologue about a small tree nearby, he is no help at all! Will Squirrel ever find his missing acorn?

Have You Seen My Acorn? is the perfect book for fall and for autumnal story times!
