Mr. Squirrel and the Moon by Sebastian Meschenmoser

3.0

Quirky retelling of the "I think this cheese is the moon!" story found in a number of folktales. The illustrations are funny and endearing. Poor Mr. Squirrel is definitely a cousin of [b: Scaredy Squirrel|562763|Scaredy Squirrel (Scaredy Squirrel)|Mélanie Watt|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349042012s/562763.jpg|549907]; the story "pauses" at several points while he imagines life in prison after being found guilty of stealing the moon. His imagination provides lots of details, right down to the little Mr. Squirrel-sized toilet in the cell. Younger readers may be amused by Mr. Squirrel's confusion over lunar-look-alike cheeses; adult readers better be ready for discussions of the bathroom arrangements in prisons.
