Preparedness
This beautifully illustrated fable-esque tale flowing with rhyme goes a long way for instilling preparedness and responsibility in young children.
The wise owl eventually influences the mindset of the impetuous squirrel who is preoccupied with indulging ice cream rather than seeing the wisdom of helping his family gather acorns, seeds, and nuts for the lean seasons.
This meaningful story invokes self-reliance and living harmoniously with nature, important tenets to reinforce during the formative years.

PS. My partner showed me and emaciated squirrel that came by the front of their all concrete parking lot shop door. She opened the door and waved to the squirrel that it was OK to come in and save her some nuts that she threw out to get the squirrel to come in. She was amazed at how much it ate right there and then. Probably very hungry.
She expects it will come back again now that it knows where food is.
