Meryl stays behind when all the other squirrels leave after all the trees are cut down to the ground. He happens to come across the last acorn, makes a wish, and then stashes the nut away for later. To his surprise, a tree grows. Unfortunately, he doesn't produce any nuts, even though he loves and cares for the tree. While out hunting for food, a man gives him a donut. He gladly takes it back to his tree and too his surprise the tree starts to produce lemon donuts. Of course a tree like that would get much attention, attention that the little squirrel did not want. Without giving more away, I will let you read to see how he got the crowds to go away.The book has great illustrations, and of course a great rhyming scheme and hidden lesson. For some reason, my 5 year old son didn't get as involved with this book as much as he usually does with books by this author. Maybe it was a little much for him to take in, not sure, but will give it a try again a little later. He did like the idea of having a donut tree, which I would agree would be a great tree to own.Originally posted on The Mystical World of Book Reviews
