This book is a lovely way to encourage kids to go outside and learn to observe things in nature such as squirrels scampering around like shown. It's a nice and short book that I think young kids might enjoy and I think I would have found sweet when I was little.
This was cute and quick to read!

Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

This is book 3 in the creative “Outside Our Window” series for children. I am a huge fan of this series. In this adventure we meet two children who noticed a squirrel busy outside their window. They decide to out and discover more. They see how active and busy the squirrel is. They are trying to copy the squirrel like jumping, moving fast and playing.

I love how encouraging the story is. It has beautiful illustrations sharing the beauty of nature. Simple text helps little ones follow along and keep their excitement of what they will next. I also loved the activity pages that gave ideas to help children be active and get outside.

Wonderful story. Enjoy the adventure with your little.

This was such a cute children's book about squirrels. The illustrations are beautiful, and the squirrels are so cute! This will be a fun book for littles who are captured by vibrant pictures.

So cute!
My son and I often saw squirrels when we spent time outside and this book exactly portrayed the excitement every time we saw squirrels dash away from us. Though we lived in Indonesia, we had many leaves scattered on the floor in the morning and evening from the many trees surrounding our neighborhood. So we related much to the background illustrations in this book.
The illustrations were so vibrant with colors and we (my son and I) loved them so much. The details were also so good.
This book gave us a perfect reading experience. Definitely moved to reread books for our reading time.

Just the perfect autumn read, and great for toddlers who are beginning to explore outside play! The writing is accessible and the illustrations are so vivid and cozy.

Squirrels Scamper is a little too basic for my child but is a sweet and simple nature book, perfect for introducing little ones to the world of wildlife. The gentle text and engaging illustrations make it ideal for very young readers, especially toddlers around 2–3 years old. There isn’t much to the storyline, but that’s part of its charm for this age group—it’s short, easy to follow, and great for holding short attention spans. A nice pick for bedtime or as a quick nature-themed read-aloud.

Thank you, NetGalley and Free Spirit Publishing for the ARC!

This was such a cute read! The illustrations are beautiful and story was fun. I love that there is diversity with the interracial family. Very relatable as my own family looks like this. Very very cute!!

This is about what squirrels do in the city. It’s a look outside your window at a very curious animal. Most of the story is made up of wonderful illustrations. This would be nice for reading a story time at home at school or anywhere in between.

Thanks Netgalley for the advance of Squirrels Scamper by Mangal, Mélina.
The vibrant illustrations and the storyline indeed takes the reader to scamper along with a squirrel. The fact that a book about squirrels teaches not only about the lifestyle of a squirrel but also balancing between chores and play is amusing. A nice book for adding to the library for little book lovers who also love animals and nature.

Reading through Squirrels Scamper made me nostalgic with its autumn theme and non-computer generated illustrations. My favorite part of the book is all the motion in the drawings. It's nice that the author doesn't simply rely on words to express the busy-ness of squirrels. And as an added touch, there are a couple of pages at the end that are aimed towards parents explaining activities they can do with their children to further enhance the message of the book.

This is such a great short story to teach children about squirrels and nature. The illustrations are stunning and the text is short, which really holds a young child’s attention. I also really appreciated the notes at the end for caregivers. Overall, a great story for little ones.

Thank you Free Spirit Publishing for the arc. This review will be shared with retailers on release day.

Thank you so much to Netgalley, TCM and the author for the opportunity to read this as an arc.

Squirrels Scamper is the third installment in the Outside Our Window series, this time the two children step outside to discover the world of squirrels. The series focuses on how children can connect with nature even while living in a city.

This book is perfect even for really young children, it's definitely created with toddlers in mind. The illustrations are beautiful, simple but perfect for the story. I loved the additional facts at the end of the book, really interesting and helpful to further help the children in our lives in their journey to discover nature!

This book is part of a series that shows how kids can connect with nature even when they are living in urban environments. This board book has bright, colorful illustrations, and it teaches kids about squirrels. There isn't much of a story here, but the illustrations are delightful, and the book describes squirrel behavior and shows how kids can imitate and relate to squirrels. There is also a note for parents at the end.

This is a cute little story for very young children. I thought the artwork was beautiful, the story will help ignite a child’s curiosity, and parents won’t mind reading it over and over again. A good addition to your children’s library.

This is a cute book! My 3 yo loved it. It is definitely more geared towards I would say baby/toddler but I love the fun squirrel facts at the end for the parents to share.

Thank you, Netgalley and the publisher, for the ARC. First, lovely illustrations. This book is perfect for fall with the color palette, and also very educational, teaching kids about squirrels in a fun way. My son got excited to see a squirrel in our backyard after reading this book, highly recommend.

This is a very cute picture book to engage young children with nature right outside their window. I couldn’t help but think of my niece and nephew who love watching the squirrels play in their yard. Lovely illustrations and simple text.

What a lovely way to make something we see every day (a squirrel) and make it magical. I love that, at the end of the bok, there are tools for adults to teach the lessons. The artwork is also stunning.

The main thing I liked about this book was its simplicity. It allows the book to be more open to interpretation, which encourages readers to be more observant both of what they see in the book and in the world around them. Additionally, this book includes a lot of good observations of squirrels, and readers can use the words that they learn from this book in their own everyday lives. What's even better is the words matched the illustrations perfectly, which really helps increase the teaching efficacy of this book. Lastly, I really liked the art style of this book, as it had a fun and carefree feel to it, which is perfect for a kids' book. Bravo!

This was really fun and full of energy! This did a really good job of capturing the beauty and chaos of nature in motion. This book would be great for read-alouds, considering its pace and its beautiful illustrations! A lighthearted book that would be great to read during the changing seasons.
