Squirrel is running along a tree limb when she trips, losing all her acorns into the rushing water of the river below. Angry and frustrated, she doesn't know what to do. Her good friend, Rabbit, lends both a sympathetic ear as well as a solution. Rather than get angry, Rabbit tells her, rate the problem on a scale of one-to-ten. By identifying and realizing the true importance of the issue, the issue may not seem so overwhelming. Adorable forest creatures help the sad squirrel put everything into perspective so he does not to get stuck in a rut over something that may not be a big deal after all.
This is an adorable book that introduces a new line for Carole- taking on childhood problems! All kids know about frustration and about how BAD days can seem. But this adorable book not only teaches counting skills (love multi-purpose books!), it teaches a strong moral lesson about putting the problem in perspective, and then how to cope with the problem. It's fun to read out loud, or for emergent readers to read! And the fun Spring colored illustrations will make everyone smile!
But sometimes you don't feel like smiling, cause you really are having a rotten day!

it's hard to believe this is book 19 in the series! Once again Carole does an excellent job of bringing a foreign country to kids, and making its customs, history and social norms, not only understandable, but entertaining! Kelsea blends photographs with illustrations, to make Israel come alive for kids. Carole does skirt around the Israel/Palestine issue, allowing parents to decide if they want to talk about that after the book is read. This is a great book to add to the collection!
