The Little Acorn's Big Adventure

Little acorns can have big adventures too. The little acorn's adventure begins when it drops from a huge oak tree in the middle of a great forest. Will it become a meal for a hungry bird or a squirrel? Will it be crushed as it gets trampled by a big burly bear? Will it find moist soil to take root? And once it takes root, will it get enough rain and sunshine to grow? Throughout the story, we find ourselves "rooting" for the little acorn and hope that nature allows it to complete its journey and grow into a healthy, strong sapling. The delicate balance of nature is captured in the text by Sylvia Rouss and paired with rich, colorful illustrations by Rick Penn-Kraus, showing how plants, animals and weather-all of nature-work together to help the acorn take root.
