5.0

1. Winter 2015 Top Ten IndieNext Pick
2. Kindergarten-Grade 2
3. This imaginative book tells the story of Mr. Squirrel, who wakes one morning to find the moon outside his home. He fears others will suspect him of stealing the moon. In conjunction with friends, he runs into all sorts of trouble with the moon, and eventually puts it back in the sky.
4. This hysterical book features a runaway imagination of Mr. Squirrel, who thinks he and his friends will end up in prison for stealing the moon (even though they only found it). With teamwork they manage to get the moon back in the sky, with some silly hiccups along the way.
5. This is a great story to demonstrate teamwork and friendship with students. Mr. Squirrel and his friends all worked together. It is also great for read aloud, and for students to discuss what might happen next, at each turn of events.
