Waiting for Winter Tekijä: Sebastian Meschenmoser
The art is gorgeous. Maybe, I thought at first, a little too grown up, but its sophistication is balanced by all the jokes landing perfectly. Squirrel, hedgehog, and bear try to stay awake to the see the first snow, only none of them know what snow looks like. A toothbrush? A tin can? A dirty sock? When the snow falls and the animals retire, they leave a surprise for passersby. Just delightful.
Mr Squirrel & the Moon is a clever, funny book that will have kids squirming with delight over their possession of insider knowledge regarding how the moon came to land in Mr Squirrel's tree.
The lightly colored action pages are interrupted by grayscale spreads illustrating Mr Squirrel's interpretation of what might happen to him (and the other animals) if they're caught in possession of the stolen moon. Some of the details in these grayscale spreads are quite small, so readers will need to look closely to fully appreciate Mr Squirrel's thoughts.

Delightful bedtime story for young children. The squirrel is a unique choice of animal for this book. Given the inquisitive and rambunctious nature of squirrels make it a wonderful choice for the book. One can almost visualize the furry tail and anxious energy while attempting to return the moon to its rightful place.

Winter is coming, and Squirrel wants to see snow. Hedgehog wants to see too, and so does Bear. The animals' sleepy faces and strategies for staying awake are funny, and their search for the first snowflake ("white and wet and cold and soft") is even funnier. Once the world is covered in white, they make a snowman, then hibernate together, leaving a mystified woodsman to wonder over their creation.
