Bookroo's summary

Mama Squirrel is a fierce protector of her babies, always ready to scare off any threat with her bold 'Chook, chook, chook!' But when a grizzly bear arrives, her courage is truly tested. Can Mama Squirrel defend her family against this formidable foe, or has she finally met her match? Dive into this lively tale of bravery and determination, where the stakes are high and the heart is fierce. Will Mama's spirit be enough to keep her family safe?

From the publisher

Caldecott Honor winner David Ezra Stein’s lively tale is a fantastic read-aloud, and feisty Mama Squirrel will have fierce mamas everywhere applauding!

Ol’ Mama Squirrel has raised lots of babies, and she knows just how to protect them. Whenever trouble comes nosing around, she springs into action with a determined “Chook, chook, chook!” and scares trouble away. Her bravery is put to the test, however, when a really big threat wanders into town and onto her tree. But no matter what, Mama’s not about to back down!
