Mr. Peanuts is an unusual squirrel. He likes to grill hot dogs on his tiny grill. He plays the piano beautifully. He likes to read (his favourite books are A Tail of Two Cities and Good Night, Nut ). But once in a while he feels lonely. One day, he writes a letter to Cousin Squirrel to invite him to visit, and to his great joy, Cousin Squirrel agrees! It turns out that Cousin Squirrel is an unusual squirrel, too, and Mr. Peanuts realizes that having a friend makes everything twice as fun.

About the Author:
NANCY ROSE discovered the curiosity of the little American Red Squirrels when she saw them raiding the bird feeders in her backyard. Crafting miniature settings and squirrel size props and luring them with hidden peanuts, she has captured the inquisitive squirrels in a variety of adorable human-like poses. Nancy Rose, who is a high school guidance counsellor when she isn’t photographing squirrels, lives in Bedford, Nova Scotia.
From School Library Journal:
PreS-Gr 1—Rose photographs wild squirrels exploring miniature dollhouse-type sets constructed in her backyard. The story is built around the photos of squirrels interacting with tiny, handmade props. Readers first meet Mr. Peanuts as he pursues his hobbies: cooking on a grill, playing a piano, and engaging with several books in a library set. Feeling lonely, Mr. Peanuts pens a letter, inviting Cousin Squirrel to visit. He prepares for his friend's arrival by cleaning his house, baking a cake, and taking a bath. Once Cousin Squirrel arrives, the two animals sit in a wagon together, enjoy a picnic, and camp out. Rather than being plot- or character-driven, the text seems to exist only to showcase and loosely tie the pictures together. The book ends with "Ten Tips for Photographing Wildlife" and a "Q & A with Nancy Rose." Children may enjoy visually examining Mr. Peanuts' miniature world, but the lackluster text makes this an additional purchase.—Laura Hunter, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
