If you are anybody who is anybody, you've probably heard of the VERY silly Monkey With a Tool Belt books. (They have also been adapted by Netflix into the show Chico BonBon: Monkey With A Toolbelt!)
Well, author/illustrator Chris Monroe is coming back to Wild Rumpus with a brand new silly book in her storytelling toolbelt---SASQUATCH AND SQUIRREL! And to top it all off, she's bringing her pal Kevin Kling along with her to help share the story with you!
Strawberry the Sasquatch lives alone deep in the forest. Most animals are afraid of her, but she doesn't mind. She's happy doing all the alone things a sasquatch does--things like hiking and foraging as well as dance moves and logger pranks. Then one day, an extremely friendly squirrel named Nutty shows up. After a series of hilarious mishaps, Strawberry isn't sure she and Nutty can get along. But thanks to some cloud watching, seed portraits, and stale marshmallows, the two find a way to be friends.
