Book Review of The Secret Life of Squirrels: A Love Story

The Secret Life of Squirrels: A Love Story


This picture book is part of a series called The Secret Life Of Squirrels. This edition Mr. Peanuts has found love. He takes his new love to bookstores, restaurants and, of course, the park.

I read this one around Valentine's Day, which it is perfect for. It is filled with very cute pictures of real squirrels in made up sets reenacting a couple dating.

Now the pictures are cute and so is the story. For me, I have to say it's too cute. Like overwhelming sweet, which is why I took some stars away. Don't get me wrong I love squirrels they are adorable but the story gives me heartburn.

I am sure that children will love this book and not be overwhelmed by the sweetness. I am interested in checking out the previous books to see if I feel differently about them.
