Nuts! by Lou Peacock and Yasmeen Ismail


Two squirrels are out collecting nuts. The boy finds his and the girl finds hers. They both start to load up their carts but when they see each other the confrontation begins. Other animals join in the battle- taking sides.Then rabbit, the peacemaker, arrives. He tries to show this pair of youngsters there is a way to compromise but there is NO WAY either squirrel is giving up those acorns. Perhaps they need some time to think. Can the "my nuts" be changed to "our nuts"? Yes it can thank goodness but what about those apples over there?

This book has around 35 words! Seems difficult to comprehend but in just 35 words and 32 pages your preschool companion will enjoy a funny story that also packs an emotional punch and perhaps open the discussion to the complex topic of sharing.

When I see the name Yasmeen Ismail on the cover of a book I know it will be fabulous!

This memorable story will help toddlers (and caregivers) connect behavior to the language of sharing. Kirkus
