Booktalk: In ten thoughtful, philosophical, absurd tales, the forest animals–from squirrel to scarab beetle–spend their days as friends do, with birthday parties, writing letters, visiting, dancing, or sometimes all alone. Each day brings emotions that are always worth exploring, although not always easy, as this illustrated storybook gently shows that anger, in all its shapes and sizes, is a natural, necessary and often misunderstood emotion.

Snippet: It was midsummer. The squirrel was sitting at a table in his house at the top of the beech tree.

The ant had gone off on a journey and might never return. Almost definitely not–that was what she had said as she left.

But finally, after their energy is danced out, nap sheep lull everyone to sleep.
