It's something we've always wondered. What DO squirrels get up to when we're not looking? One minute they're innocently scrabbling around on the ground for lost acorns or missing cobnuts, the next minute you turn around and they're gone.

One little toddler knows the secret, one Hazel Nutt who is the tiny genius behind a trilogy of excellent little books (helped by her mummy and daddy of course).

Hazel knows that squirrels are very mischievous and also extremely clever.

We find out just how clever in the first book "What Squirrels Do When You're Not Looking"

If you happen to see a swing swinging when there's no breeze, or a strange slidey bald patch in a treetop, you might not give it a second glance - but Hazel knows what's been going on and you can almost guarantee that the squirrels have been around and about, playfully teasing us behind our backs.

With rhyming verse and a hilarious look at how squirrels are extremely good at pulling the wool over our eyes, "What Squirrels Do When You're Not Looking" is available via CreateSpace and Amazon.


Did you also know that Squirrels have their own Olympic Games?
Hazel knows, and in "What Squirrels Do: The Squirrel Olympics" you'll find out how our furry little friends limber up for their own sporting extravaganza. We all know squirrels are fantastic at running and jumping, but I bet you didn't know that they can also limbo under the lowest twigs, or walk precariously between washing poles treading a perilous tightrope. Funny and action packed, it's great to see our squirrely friends taking part in challenging events around the garden and trees.

Here's a link to "What Squirrels Do: The Squirrel Olympics" on Amazon and CreateSpace


Last but by no means least, Hazel shows us behind the squirrely curtain one more time to take a look at "What Squirrels Do: Just For Fun". When our back is turned, and ever so quick, Squirrels are always ready with a cheeky little trick (hey that rhymed!)

Cheering each other on with flower pom-poms while being chased by dogs and cats. Pulling cheeky faces at us (which we'll never see because squirrels are just too quick for us to catch them in the act!)

"What Squirrels Do: Just For Fun" can be purchased at CreateSpace and Amazon

Charlotte really loved reading the adventures of Hazel Nutt and it have given her a whole new way to look at the many Squirrels who live in our locale, and scurry around on the rooftops early in the morning. We know they're not being noisy pests, we now know (thanks to Hazel) that they're up to all sorts of fun activities and anyone who loves nature and animals will definitely find this lovely little collection of stories amusing and fun.

Charlotte's best bit: The squirrel tightrope act in "The Squirrel Olympics"

Daddy's favourite bit: Great engaging artwork, and a whole ton of fun. Fab stuff Hazel, can't wait for more!

Is it too late (or too early, even) for an extra-christmassy and fun book? Of course it isn't, particularly when we get to sneak a look at what the great man himself does during his downtime. Daniel Stosich got in touch with us at ReadItDaddy to let us know all about his brilliant little self-published book "Santa's Hobbies". We are champions of self-published books, particularly when they're great quality so the colourful and funny artwork in "Santa's Hobbies" instantly caught Charlotte's eye.

Did you know, for instance, that Santa is actually an accomplished Ballerina? Or that he rides a mean Harley Davison around when he's not driving a sledge?

Each page in Daniel's book contains a star to count and we loved the ethos of the book - to remind children what Christmas is all about.

Available in e-formats as well as in print, 'Santa's Hobbies' might be too late to sneak into your stocking for Christmas 2012 but if (like us) you're already missing the festive season and jolly Saint Nick, dive into this brilliant little book.

Charlotte's best bit: Santa as a Ballerina. So CUTE!

Daddy's favourite bit: Superb illustrations a real notch above most self-published books, and a whole truckload of christmas cheer. We love it!

Grab Daniel's book from the following sources:

Amazon (Print) (Kindle)

CreateSpace (With the chance to win an iPad 3 for the 5000th person to buy the print version!)

It should also be coming soon to the iTunes store so we'll add a link in for that when it does.
