The text briefly details his activities during different times of day and types of weather. The language is simple, employing basic words that children learn early on, but still creates a cute story that draws in the adult reader. The paper cut outs illustrations and felt finger puppet are interesting for adult, but simple enough for the intended age of the child. This is a book for children in 1-2nd grade. This book focuses on what lives in trees, I think the children would find that interesting and would like it because it is such a colorful book. I would use this in my future classroom because it would keep the children interested and very educational.
