  • sweet illustrations

Type: longer picture book (or storybook)

Children much younger than 5 can definitely understand the stories, but in considering what age would appreciate it most, I landed on 5+. Just know that’s flexible!

The four stories/chapters are:

  1. Nigel Meets Dipper
  2. Little Owl Redecorates
  3. Claudius Plants a Garden
  4. Mudpuppy’s Picnic

Nigel Chipmunk is the neighbor everyone wants. What a guy! Your littles will love this book.
