I like the nutty chase
It was funny.
I liked it when they had the party at the end.
Cyril was my favorite because he didn't have any nuts and I liked it when he swang on the tree.
This book is fiction. I loved this story Because they love each other but first place they didn’t get along and then they make friends again. I would love to recommend it. The squirrels did get along and I really liked it and I really liked it because it was awesome. The squirrels chasing the pinecone and also the squirrel didn’t have any food and then he went out to find a pinecone and it was really good. I love them.
I really liked it when the squirrels realised they were being silly and greedy, and they started sharing. That made me happy.
I loved the part where they were chasing the pine cone — it was so funny when it bounced on the bear’s nose!
I also liked saying the squirrels’ names. “Spontaneous” was a new word for me, and I had fun saying “Spontaneous Cyril” all through the story.
Favourite character wasBruce
I liked this book because it had funny bits in it and it also had squirrels chasing after a nut, and that was funny.
Learning to share and learning that friends are important
mum said this book reminded her of me and my twin brother.
I liked they are became friends in the end!
I would recommend this book because it is all about laughing and sharing with your friends. Also it shows your that is better to work as a team and never be spiteful.
I loved this book because it shows you how to be friends, sharing and laughing.
It's not good to squabble, you might even lose your friends!
The book was faction. The book was about two squirrels who fought over a pine cone.
The story wasn't that interesting and I would not recommend it.
I like that it’s about hibernating and the food they want. My favourite squirrel is the one with the big pile of food as he is sneaky so he is left alone cos he doesn’t tell anyone. The book taught me about sharing.
My favourite part was the end, when they all shared. I recommend this book.
Brilliant books with a fantastic message....a great read we both enjoy
Good story tells you that sharing better than being selfish
My favourite bit is when they share the food at the end
A bit silly why aren’t they friends in the first playce
I liked it at the end when the bird was passing by with the acorn. I loved it when they became friends again, I think they're like brothers. I would recommend this book to everybody because it's great!
My favourite bit was when they were both chasing the nut to eat for the winter.
I like the bit where the nut binged on the bears nose.
Good, kind of fun
It was funny because they were saying stay back Bruce
I enjoyed the part when they fell into the river I think this book would be for a 3 and on book
Fiction. This book is funny because the squirrels fell off the edge of the cliff.
This was a story about to squirrel that fought and when they got stuck they figured out they had to work together and save the nut for winter. At the end every body is there and they work together every season to get nuts.
I liked how they giggled and got along in the end. I liked how it rhymed.
It was scrumptious
