It's Springtime, Mr. Squirrel

It's springtime and bees, flowers, and love are in the air!

When Mr. Squirrel's friend, the hedgehog, catches sight of an attractive lady hedgehog, he isn't sure what to do to win her heart. What a stroke of luck that he has a friend like Mr. Squirrel, who can help him.

Mr. Squirrel knows all about love, and what ladies like. Lady hedgehogs like heroes! But can Mr. Squirrel and the hedgehog conquer the most dangerous animal in the forest?

There is almost a kinetic energy to Meschenmoser’s loose-lined, sketchy style, which works to great effect here in a story about the power of spring, and love sweet love, to wake one from a stupor.
