HAVE YOU SEEN MY ACORN?
Squirrel dug and dug, but he couldn’t find it. Which could only mean one thing . . . someone took his acorn!

Have You Seen My Acorn? is the perfect book for fall and for autumnal story times!

Furry, feathered, and scaled--our favorite animal friends are back and finally ready to read . . . IF they can figure out what story to tell. Fresh off of their first adventure, the six friendly animals face a new puzzling predicament--a blank page!

With colorful speech bubbles, each of the animals--Giraffe, quiet Mouse, problem solving Snake, anxious Elephant, grumpy Cheetah, and Flamingo, who just wants everyone to get along--join in telling an increasingly wild story. As the animals navigate the tale's many twists and turns, it's up to the reader to help keep things moving through playful actions, like tap-tap-tapping on a magic wand, tilting the book to help Elephant swim faster, and more.
Promoting engagement and creativity, this interactive adventure is ready to bring fun to story times everywhere. Giraffe, friends, and the reader work together to weave a hilarious adventure with new surprises at every turn, proving that all it takes to tell a story is a little imagination--and lots of teamwork!
