Evergreen by Matthew Cordell**

 Evergreen, a squirrel, is timid and is especially scared of thunderstorms. Her wise mother gives her opportunity to become courageous by asking her to deliver soup to Granny Oak who is sick with the flu. The problem? Evergreen must journey through scary Buckthorn Forest. After many adventures Evergreen returns as more courageous squirrel! Then Mama gives her another task . . . is that thunder booming in the distance?

I absolutely loved this book. It is divided into six parts (like chapters) with full page illustrations in the hues of the forest. Perfect for building stamina with younger listeners or readers. Part Five surprised me!! So fun and clever!

**Highly, highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
