The squirrels who squabbled

My daughter absolutely loves The Squirrels Who Squabbled! The story is funny, fast-paced, and filled with gorgeous illustrations that keep her hooked every time we read it. She especially enjoys the silly antics of the two squirrels and always giggles at their over-the-top competition. What I appreciate most is that the book sneaks in a gentle message about sharing without ever feeling preachy. It’s one of those rare picture books that’s just as enjoyable for adults to read aloud as it is for kids to listen to. We loved it so much that we ended up purchasing most of the other books in the series (The Lion Inside, The Koala Who Could, etc.), and they’ve all been hits. This one, though, is still the most requested at bedtime. If you’re looking for a story that combines humor, heart, and beautiful artwork, this book is a wonderful addition to any child’s collection.

This is SUCH a cute book. We love all the children's books by this author and have bought them all. The moral of the story is so good and cute. I would highly recommend adding this to your library. As a parent, I enjoy reading this one!

This story was fun, and had a great lesson on working together. Illustrations were engaging!

Who hasn't raced against a friend for the last goody? This story is a fun romp through some squirrelly antics to nab that last nutty pinecone before winter. Rachel Brights' musicality tips and dips with fun and frivolity as two squirrels race for the bouncing pinecone. Jim Field's autumn palette adds humorous fall flavors to each page. This is a great book to encourage the joy of friendship and sharing.

My son loves this book and the silly squirrels, he’s 4. It’s a cute story and a sturdy book. The font colors though are bad on a few pages, dark on dark and makes it hard to read as a bedtime story.

I'm a substitute teacher and I take books along with me to school in case I have a little time to fill during the day. I read this book to a 2nd grade class, who really liked it. Only one problem- one student must have really liked it- it had disappeared when I packed-up to go home at the end of the day.

Great! Yesterday my son did not want to share his bike with a kid that could no afford to have a bike. But, after he read the book, he told me “Let’s go to the park, I want to share my bike with all kids” The book has a lot of vocabulary and a teaching that adults and kids alike will not forget. Don’t doubt, what you learn buying this book has no price.

The hard back is a nice quality book. The story is memorable with a very nice lesson. Love the ending. Very sweet.

Quite an adorable book for my 2 year old who loves the drama of the story. Very sturdy so hopefully will last the not so delicate hands of a toddler.

If you’ve ever witnessed a dramatic argument over something very small (last biscuit, remote control, emotional support snack), this book will feel… familiar. Painfully familiar. And very funny. Cyril and Bruce are squirrels with one big problem: they both want the same thing. And instead of talking, sharing, or even mildly compromising, they do what squirrels, and humans, often do best: they squabble. Loudly. Stubbornly. With full conviction that they are absolutely right. What makes this story shine is how relatable it is without being heavy. Rachel Bright captures that wonderfully human tendency to cling to being right, even when it costs us connection, joy, and sometimes the very thing we’re fighting over. Children will laugh at the escalating chaos. Adults will quietly recognise office meetings, family dinners, and online comment sections. The humour is spot on. The pace is quick, the misunderstandings pile up beautifully, and the consequences arrive with just the right mix of drama and gentleness. No moral lecture. Just a clear, kind “see what happens when we forget what really matters”. The illustrations burst with energy. You can almost hear the arguing. And yet, when the story slows down, there’s space for reflection, warmth, and reconciliation. It’s visually noisy in the best possible way. This book is perfect for talking about sharing, conflict, pride, and friendship, without making anyone feel wrong or small. It invites laughter first, insight second. Which is often how the best lessons land. In short: a hilarious, heartfelt reminder that winning an argument is rarely better than keeping a friend. Especially when snacks are involved 🐿️🤎

My 2 year old kid loves this book and all the other books by Rachel Bright and Jim Field. Good quality board book, bright and beautiful illustrations with some really gorgeous landscape art, catchy wordings, lovely and meaningful stories that capture the imagination of not just our kids but of our own too. Go for it. It will be a wonderful addition to your and your children's library.

Kitaba bayıldım. Konusu olsun,çizimleri olsun, verdiği mesaj olsun bence her kitaplıkta olması gereken kitaplardan. Ayrıca bu kitapları bize alma fırsatı verdiği için Amazon'a teşekkür ederim 🙏🌺

C’est la deuxième fois que j’achète un livre de The World of Rachel Bright and Jim Field, et je ne suis jamais déçue. Mon fils de deux ans adore leurs histoires ! Les illustrations sont colorées et adorables, et chaque histoire transmet une belle leçon de vie. Le livre est arrivé dès le lendemain, ce que j’apprécie toujours avec Amazon. Il y avait juste un petit pli sur un coin, mais rien de grave. Un livre que je recommande vraiment pour les tout-petits.
