Childrens Books about Squirrels
Fall is in the air and we are watching the busy squirrels run around, grabbing every acorn falling from our many oak trees.
The other day we spotted a black squirrel.
My grandmother always hated black squirrels, claiming they were much more aggressive than regular squirrels. (You know those Indiana squirrels can be fierce!)
I actually believed this growing up until I was watching a nature show that explained a black squirrel is no different from a “regular” squirrel other than its coloring.
Huh. Who knew?!?
