Don't Touch That Flower!

Bird gives Squirrel a lesson in spring and the flowers that come with it. Everyone's favorite overly possessive squirrel, introduced in The Leaf Thief (2021), returns for a new seasonal tale. Happy to see the leaves back on their tree, Squirrel is surprised by odd sounds. Then a strange bird flies at Squirrel's head. Squirrel runs to their friend Bird, who has all the answers: Those noises were a cuckoo's call and a bumblebee, and the bird was a swallow--all are signs of spring. The duo discover a tiny yellow flower, which Bird says is another sign of spring. Squirrel asserts possession (of course) and proceeds to try to protect it. Squirrel wants to keep it from getting wet, but Bird explains the flower needs the rain. Squirrel tries to safeguard the flower from the bees until Bird says that bees help flowers. After Squirrel's attempt to keep the flower safe under a bucket nearly kills it, Bird persuades Squirrel to leave the flower beâ¦and the next morning, they wake to a wonderful surprise. Hemming's naïve squirrel and sage bird team up again for a giggle-inducing lesson about the natural world, brought to life by Slater's energetic, bright, digitally created art, featuring endearing, big-eyed characters. (This book was reviewed digitally.) A laugh-out-loud tale that also fosters respect for nature. (flower facts) (Picture book. 4-7) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
