Synopsis

A funny rhyming story about two greedy squirrels.

Cyril and Bruce both have their sights on a very special prize: The Very Last Nut of the Season. As the nut bounces crazily though the forest, the squirrels race after it.

Between trees, over boulders, down the river and - ARGH! - right to the edge of a waterfall! Working together might be the only way to save themselves now . . .

A laugh-out-loud tale about friendship and sharing from the bestselling creators of The Lion Inside and The Koala Who Could.

I, however, thought it was great! The rhyming kept it flowing nicely. But, what made it for me were t......more
