I love summer. Wait, let me say it one more time. I LOVE SUMMER! For nine months of the year, I shiver in three or four layers of clothes, but for 3 blessed months of the year, I break out the short sleeves. My arms see the light of day. My face feels the warmth of the sun. And all is right with the world.
Now, I don't want to spoil anything for you, but there's a point in The Bravest Squirrel Ever where Pippi feels that same desperation to see the light of day, feel the warmth of the sun, and scamper through the yard as only squirrels and small children can do.
Pippi the squirrel isn't brave and has no interest in earning the title of "The Bravest Squirrel Ever." Scared of thunder, lightning and being "flopped" by the humans, Pippi only wants to return to Mama's warm, cozy nest. Instead, she stumbles on a better nest. There's only one problem. It's in dangerous, forbidden human territory. The attic nest is too perfect for Pippi to resist, and she moves in. The humans soon discover her. Instead of driving her out, they seal off her only exit, trapping her inside. To escape and to survive, Pippi must face her fears and depend on herself for the first time in her life. In doing so, she learns just how brave a little squirrel can be.

Pool+Beach+kids= Fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, by the time summer rolls around I'm ready for the heat. I love to sit on my patio in shorts and tshirts with a good glass of wine and read. I also enjoy swimming in an outdoor pool the water is so cold, but when you get out the sun feels so good.
ReplyDeleteI love the pool. We don't visit the beach often so the swimming pool is a great alternative.
ReplyDeleteKindle, please.
