Reviews
I like the nutty chase
Captain Gator Hungry-Hippo 20.08.2025
It was funny.

I liked it when they had the party at the end. Cyril was my favorite because he didn't have any nuts and I liked it when he swang on the tree.

This book is fiction. I loved this story Because they love each other but first place they didn’t get along and then they make friends again. I would love to recommend it. The squirrels did get along and I really liked it and I really liked it because it was awesome. The squirrels chasing the pinecone and also the squirrel didn’t have any food and then he went out to find a pinecone and it was really good. I love them.

I really liked it when the squirrels realised they were being silly and greedy, and they started sharing. That made me happy. I loved the part where they were chasing the pine cone — it was so funny when it bounced on the bear’s nose! I also liked saying the squirrels’ names. “Spontaneous” was a new word for me, and I had fun saying “Spontaneous Cyril” all through the story.

It's not good to squabble, you might even lose your friends!
Don Viktor Quagmire 30.08.2024
The book was faction. The book was about two squirrels who fought over a pine cone. The story wasn't that interesting and I would not recommend it.
Madam Peaches Borchester-Smythe 24.08.2024
I like that it’s about hibernating and the food they want. My favourite squirrel is the one with the big pile of food as he is sneaky so he is left alone cos he doesn’t tell anyone. The book taught me about sharing.
Dona Viper Squirrel 22.08.2024
My favourite part was the end, when they all shared. I recommend this book.
