 | Hopper's Treetop Adventure by Marcus Pfister, Rosemary Lanning
One spring morning Hopper sets out to look for hazelnuts. His mother warns that he won't find any nuts in spring and that hares don't eat nuts because they can't climb trees.
One spring morning Hopper sets out to look for hazelnuts. His mother warns that he won't find any nuts in spring and that hares don't eat nuts because they can't climb trees. Hopper proves that she is wrong on both counts. After he helps a young squirrel find the nuts that had been buried in the fall, the squirrel shows the hare how to climb a tree. There they enjoy the nuts in safety, until Hopper, not knowing how to get back down, is rescued by a friendly stag. This gentle story of helping one another and fulfilling goals is illustrated with warm, misty watercolors in soft pastels. Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY
