Why a book about squirrels? Our squirrel belongs to the family of rodents. Squirrels are neither large nor dangerous. They are not the fastest, nor the smartest or bravest - yet they have conquered almost all continents of the Earth! Squirrels live in trees or on and in the ground, they climb high treetops, and some glide through the air. How these little treetop climbers do it, how they live, how they raise their young... you can discover all this and much more in the squirrel book. And at the end, games, songs, craft tips, and much more await you! The New Brehm Library - for children aged 5 to 7 years - offers age-appropriate information, trains the eye to see connections in ecosystems, promotes responsible interaction with the environment, and invites shared reading - with an attractive practical section.
