Stop, thief! Book

Cute illustrations make this circle tale fun. A squirrel finds a nut on the ground, only to be told that a squirrel up in the tree dropped it. It becomes "finders, keepers" until the squirrel loses the nut to a crow, who drops it into a pond, where it is claimed by a turtle until an otter grabs it. Once the otter gets it onshore, a fox takes it but a dog steals it from him and delivers it to his owner, a young boy. They play fetch with it until the original squirrel recovers it and then meets up with the red squirrel from the tree . . .

We listened to this book at Story Hour at the library and my grandsons enjoyed it.
