Reviews for Nuts To You
44 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cute story! Love the illustrations by the author too. Favorite quotes from this book: " A good story makes a journey go by more quickly. A really good story makes you forget you are even on a journey (162)."
And the last line in the book, "Everyone has hidden gifts, don't they?" - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A quirky tale about three squirrel friends who discover that their tree homes are being cut down and embark on efforts to spread the news. (Actually, the trees are being cleared from the path of a power line.) The author's humorous asides on squirrel culture come in the form of footnotes.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Jed the squirrel has quite an adventurous tale to tell after escaping from a hawk's talons and surviving a long fall. Luckily, the scenario is seen from a distance by his friends and they come to look for him. They must find their way home and quickly, for they find humans are cutting the trees near the buzzpaths, their "highways" and their homes are in the way. Somehow, they must convince their friends and families to move quickly out of danger. This 259 page book is a good book for animal lovers, grades 3-5.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Adorable story told from the point of view of the squirrels. Really great message about the environment and how vital trees are to all of us (humans included). Full of humor - a orphaned squirrel, trying to describe how her family got "flattened" to squirrels who knew the forest only..."it would be like getting in the way of a huge boulder rolling down a hill. You would be smashed. Flattened. It happens fairly often because they move so fast, you cant get out of their way. They come out of nowhere and, BAM." "Crikey," said Jed. I loved the humor in this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Occasionally, I read a book that begs to be read aloud. This week when I picked up “Nuts to You”, I knew from the very first page of the author’s note that this book was going to be added to my list of recommendations for good read alouds! “Nuts” is a short chapter book aimed at grades 3 - 7 but children as young as 4 -5 years old would enjoy hearing it read aloud. Our story opens as an elderly gray squirrel shares, with a very surprised human, recollections from an adventure of his youth. One squirrel from his group of friends is scooped up by a hawk. Luckily he is dropped and not made into lunch. Unluckily he is dropped far from home. His friends come to his rescue – not, however, without challenges. Squirrels are not known for their long attention spans and finding their friend proves difficult, but they persevere because they care deeply for their friend. Once reunited, they experience cultural differences common to those who travel, like meeting a group of red squirrels who speak with an Australian accent and eat pinecone seeds, rather than acorns.
