"Is there anything more adorable than an animal ‘sploot’? This book follows two squirrels as they quest for a cooler environment. This was a fun story to show kids how animals seek to cool down. I can’t wait to share this with my kids and their friends!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Lauren C., Librarian
"Adorable and informative book about squirrels and how they handle hot weather. Two squirrels are very hot, so they ‘sploot’ in different places. As the end of the book explains, splooting is when squirrels lay down on their bellies with their legs splayed out in an attempt to lower their body temperature. These squirrels have quite an adventure trying to find the perfect place to sploot and cool off. The illustrations are adorable."

"The story was sweet and incredibly simple, perfect for a really young audience to enjoy. The illustrations were wonderful, seeing the squirrels splooting everywhere they possibly can. I loved the extra information at the end explaining what splooting is, why squirrels do it, and which other animals sploot too. A really fun and entertaining book that young readers will enjoy — amusing and adorable at the same time."

"Saw this book and immediately knew that I had to read it! We recently learned about ‘splooting’ when one of our neighborhood squirrels appeared to be dead on our yard. One Google search led to the next and we spent the better part of an hour learning about splooting! This book is a very simple and cute picture book geared towards young children. It would be the perfect gift for any littles that love watching squirrels!"
