The cover illustration of a very hungry squirrel is attractive. Unfortunately, the list of all the items he eats starts out sensibly – a warm roll, popcorn in a bowl – but morphs into nonsensical items, such as a very bad dream, a nasty fright,  a dark and stormy night, and finally, “me?” It seems the items were chosen just because they rhymed and not because they were clever. The cute squirrel character who caught my eye on the cover, does remain adorable throughout the book.
