REVIEWS AND AWARDS:
Those searching for a spot of cheer in the gloomy cold months may find a serviceable holiday selection with Squirrel and her forest friends.                                                                                                             -Kirkus

Squirrel's quest for a New Year's resolution leads to good deeds and food for thought for children wanting to make resolutions of their own. A great read-aloud for the first of January!
