The squirrel looks at its reflection and is sure it no longer wants to be a squirrel. Who dreams of being a squirrel anyway? There are so many wonderful animals out there. Beavers, for example! They gnaw and build a better world – but they always have wet feet. Or deer! Deer are noble! The kings of the forests – but unfortunately also popular with hunters. Well, okay. But hedgehogs!

Olivier Tallec fulfills all the squirrel's wishes with bright colors and hilarious illustrations – and surprises not only the readers at the end!.
