Two greedy squirrels learn to share, in this hilarious rhyming adventure from the bestselling creators of The Lion Inside.

Greedy squirrels Cyril and Bruce both have their sights on a very special prize: THE VERY LAST NUT OF THE SEASON! As the nut bounces crazily though the forest, the squirrels race after it, between the trees, over boulders, down the river and - ARGH! - right to the edge of a waterfall! Working together might be the only way to save themselves now ...

A laugh-out-loud tale about friendship and sharing. Perfect for competitive friends and sibling rivals!

'A charming story about sharing and friendship.' Parents in Touch

'Reminiscent of Julia Donaldson.' The Sun

'Delightful to read again and again.' The Bookbag

'A truly delightful tale.' The School Librarian.

Squirrels are jerks

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2019

Verified Purchase

Lovely illustrations... Very well written and rhymed... But the squirrels are jerks... Bruce didn't need that pine cone and Cyril didn't deserve to share all the food after a summer of jollies.

A lovely book to have a lighter look at why it's good to share

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2019

Do you have more than one child? Do your children squabble and bicker? Do your children struggle with sharing?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you should get this book! They'll totally relate! 🤣

This, and 'We Found a Hat' are two books I read with my two often, as a reminder of how much better it is to work together and be considerate of each other, when I feel they need reminding!

Another winner.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2018

I love this book, just as much as The Lion Inside and The Koala who could, which I also bought for my Granddaughters aged 4 & 6. They are beautifully illustrated, with really interesting rhymes (which I apparently read in my rhyming voice!). Apart from the main characters, there are also cute "extras", like the silhouetted creatures walking across a fallen log and rabbits on a tree stump. Another excellent book with a moral in the tale.

Bit Disappointed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2018

Verified Purchase

The delivery was quick, but I was quite disappointed with the storyline of this book. I had bought it for my 4 year old granddaughter but I felt the wording went 'over her head". By that I mean it was not your everyday language. Pictures were very good though.

Jim Field's illustrations are beautiful and humorous

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 March 2018

Verified Purchase

Lovely book about the importance of sharing. Jim Field's illustrations are beautiful and humorous. And Rachel Bright's prose is easy to read - the rhythm and rhyme flows easily. As with her other books - The Koala Who Could and The Lion Inside - this story has a lesson for life. My 2 year old enjoys this story and I don't mind reading it repeatedly.
