Please, No More Nuts!

Please, No More Nuts! - Jonathan Fenske
Please stop the nuts! This is a follow- up to We Need More Nuts! in which two brother squirrels were counting and collecting nuts. Only in that book, the little brother was doing more collecting, way more collecting and putting the nuts inside his big brothers’ mouth until his big brother was ready to explode! In this book, both of the squirrels have had enough of the nuts and are ready to give them all away.

I like the rhyming in this book and I like the language in this book. The brothers used to love the nuts, they "adored them" and 'used to hoard them. “They talk about all the ways they used to eat the nuts and now, they are sick of them. We really should take them quick, because looking at the nuts makes them sick. As you can see, the rhyming in this book works really well. The language has some challenges which is good, words like Queasy, hooray, brunch, and chubby. Otherwise, many of the words repeat and it’s a great book since the rhyming is not forced. The illustrations are fun to look at too,
