“Squirrels are rodents. They live in grasslands, forests, and deserts.” is written in large font opposite a page showing a red squirrel eating amidst green vegetation. Across the bottom of the page are 3 insets : a grassland, a forest, and a desert.

Eight more double page sets with full color photos on the right and 1 or 2 sentences on the left make up this informative book for young emergent readers.

Throughout the text the glossary words are typed in bold print: rodents, balance, claws, gnaw, insects, predators, and burrows.
