Perfect for fans of Mo Willems, this hilarious picture book explores feeling like the odd one out with bright and engaging art by New York Times bestselling illustrator Marc Rosenthal. It' s a beautiful day, and a group of friends are excited to spend it together. The woodland creatures can' t wait to pile into their boat and go fishing! Or, at least, Bear, Porcupine, and Otter can' t wait. They love fishing. Squirrel. . . does not. Squirrel tags along with his enthusiastic friends, but is there anything they all love? Or is this fishing trip already sunk?
Though pals Bear, Otter, and Porcupine profess the titular love of fishing, Squirrel, contrary to the insistence of Bernstein' s (the Warren & Dragon series) perky narrator, does not: "Fish smell too fishy," he says, holding his nose, tongue out. But he joins his friends on their bucolic fishing expedition anyway, becoming increasingly cranky-about the walk through the woods to the water ("I stepped on a pebble"), the sheer boredom of sitting in the boat ("I ate all my nuts already. Nuts"), and the sudden rainstorm that Bear finds refreshing ("Rain makes my fur frizz"). . . . Rosenthal (the Small Walt series) slyly sabotages his own sunny drawing style as he portrays the irritation that inevitably arises out of close relationships: Squirrel' s misery is both relatable and funny, and the pals both oblivious and well meaning. -- Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW * January 2021 *
