Sometimes even squirrels need a lesson in safety!
Filbert the squirrel loves to play soccer with his friends, but when his mother asks him to run an errand, he dashes right off. Filbert is always careful to avoid the neighborhood cat, but-Skip-leap! Hip-hop!-he has so much fun running up telephone poles and bouncing through the leaves, he forgets to look both ways when he gets to the street. That is, until a close encounter makes him think twice! With bouncing rhymes and cheery illustrations, this is the perfect picture book for any child in need of a little reminder to look both ways.
