About this title

From the Author

After I wrote "Acorns and Eat'em," a vegetarian cookbook and field guide for eating acorns, I wanted to write a story for children that would show them the importance of the acorn for forest animals and how humans could also enjoy them. Children love gathering acorns and baking acorn cookies. It's a fun project, especially in the fall when the air is crisp and turning the oven on warms the house.

From the Inside Flap

Follow the adventures of Acorn while he ventures into the home of "the lady" whom Acorn has caught stealing his acorns. She gathers, leaches and grinds the acorns in a blender, infuriating the little mouse until he realizes what benefits he might retrieve. Children introduced early into the art of eating acorns will learn that nature provides not just grocery store produce but wild foods from the forest.
