Welcome to the forest, where a fact-filled tour awaits. That is...until a frantic squirrel bursts onto your page searching for his misplaced nut. Help him find it in this hilarious picture book, perfect for fans of The Leaf Thief and The Interrupting Chicken.

Gray Squirrel has a problem. He can't find his nut, and he's desperate for help. So desperate that he's going to interrupt this autumnal tour of the forest, where cardinals eat berries that turn their feathers red, white-tailed deer lose their antlers, and wood frogs freeze... Yeah, all of that might be fascinating, but Squirrel needs his nut!

With a funny, exasperated hero like that of The Very Impatient Caterpillar, this meta picture book inspired by real squirrel behavior (caching!) delivers crowd-pleasing laughs as Gray Squirrel searches for his beloved nut and accidentally plants a tree. But this isn't the first lost nut, and it won't be the last...

Hello, forest!

Hilarious speech-balloon dialogue makes this a dynamic and fun read-aloud-and the back of the book includes bonus educational material like additional forest facts, a food web diagram, and a bear safety song!

Cassandra Federman spent much of her childhood in Massachusetts tromping through the temperate deciduous forest-though at the time, she just called it ""the woods."" Over the course of her life, she has been many things- a hand model, a wrestler, a manatee rescuer, an actor, and a mystic wood elf-but her favorite so far has been an author-illustrator. Her previous books include This Is a Sea Cow, This Is a Seahorse, which won the ILA Children's & Young Adults' Book Award, and the middle grade graphic novel, Story Spinners.

Reviews for Gray Squirrel Loses It!

""Federman’s tale....strikes an agreeably madcap, off-the-wall tone. The digitally created illustrations are dynamic and funny....Nutty fun."" —Kirkus Reviews ""The story is full of slapstick humor and facts about forest animals....exciting and humorous."" —School Library Journal
