About this book

Follow the story of Maldwyn as he realises he has not saved any food for the winter. All the other animals had built up their stores. What is Maldwyn to do? He finds a pinecone on the very last of the season, but wait, he’s not alone! Another squirrel called Tudor, has had his eye on the pinecone. Athough Tudor has gathered lots of food already he still really wants it.

Watch the squabble that Tudor and Maldwyn have over the pinecone. Maldwyn and Tudor learn after many mishaps that they have been greedy and the squabbling should stop. They learn that they were better working together. This is a wonderful rhyming book, with illustrations that give you lots to talk about.
