From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1—When Mr. Peanuts the squirrel receives an invitation to visit for Christmas from his cousin, he immediately packs his suitcase with plenty of hand-knitted Christmas sweaters, hops in his convertible, and zooms through the snow to Cousin Squirrel's house. The two squirrels enjoy a hazelnut latte, go sledding, and open presents—peanuts, of course. What raises this book above the pedestrian are the more than 25 carefully composed photographs, depicting real squirrels and tiny, squirrel-size props, many of them hand-made (teeny knit sweaters, teeny snowshoes made of twigs). VERDICT The sharply focused, detailed photos of a frisky-tailed, big-eyed squirrel nosing curiously about adorably small objects will captivate kids, even if the text is nothing special.—Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library

I am SO EXCITED for Merry Christmas, Squirrels! which is Nancy Rose’s second book featuring the adventures of Mr. Peanuts and Cousin Squirrel. (Rose’s first book, The Secret Life of Squirrels, debuted in October 2014).Oh hello there, Mr. Peanuts! It’s so good to see you again! Hope you’ve been doing well!!!If you are new to the photography of Nancy Rose, the first thing you need to know is that her photos are the REAL DEAL — she does not digitally alter them. Rose’s backyard squirrels are regular visitors to her deck. Squirrels are quite curious by nature and thus spend time exploring the handmade sets she crafts — and it certainly doesn’t hurt that she hides nuts in and around the props to encourage investigation! And speaking of the set and props, very few are store-bought, nearly all are handcrafted by Rose.But let’s get back to the story! It’s what we all have been waiting for! In Merry Christmas, Squirrels!, Cousin Squirrel invites Mr. Peanuts to spend the Christmas holidays with him. I’m not going to spoil things because there is a definite story arc but OF COURSE Mr. Peanuts and Cousin Squirrel engage in all sorts of ADORABLE and CHARMING winter, Christmas Eve, and Christmas day activities.Merry Christmas, Squirrels! is the perfect feel-good-cozy-make-you-smile kind of story for the upcoming winter and holiday season. We can only hope that we don’t have to wait a whole year for the next adventure of Mr. Peanuts and Cousin Squirrel.Disclosure: I received a complimentary review copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The opinions are my own.[this review is for the hardcover edition]
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I loved it even more than the first. A fun Christmas story for all ages! By Sunshine on a Rainy Day SUMMARY: This is the second Squirrel book from Nancy Rose. In this installment, Mr. Peanuts is getting ready for Christmas. His cousin invites him to his home for the holiday. Mr. Peanuts packs his convertible and goes on his way. Mr. Peanuts and Cousin Squirrel enjoy many activities including snow shoeing, building a snowman and roasting chestnuts over an open fire. On Christmas day, they are very excited to open their many presents and are not so surprised to see what they give each other.ILLUSTRATIONS: The pages are illustrated with photographs of squirrels and props created by the author.THE GOOD: I enjoyed this book as much if not more than the first one. I was fascinated with each and every photograph of what Mr. Peanuts and Cousin Squirrel were doing. I spent extra time looking at the props Nancy Rose created and even though I do not enjoy rodent animals, I was entranced by these little squirrels and their actions. I especially enjoyed the Christmas theme. My favorite picture was of the two squirrels reading story books--'Twas the Nut Before Christmas and The Nutcracker--on Christmas Eve. I noticed a copy of Rose's first book, The Secret Life of Squirrels in a basket nearby! As a photographer myself, I can appreciate the enormous amount of time and patience it takes to get even one good picture of animals in the wild let alone alongside of props. Ms. Rose tells how she went about accomplishing these amazing photos in the back of the book.THE NOT AS GOOD: Although the wording of this story is a little weak and doesn't flow as smoothly as it could, I was fascinated with each and every photograph.AGE RECOMMENDATION: This book is recommended for ages 3-6. I think that can be bumped up to age 8 as the older children will be fascinated with the photos. I highly recommend this book. It encourages imagination, curiosity, and creativity.

I think it is absolutely amazing that these images are not digitally altered with the props. I can't imagine the patience (and trial & error) it must take to get each perfect shot when your subjects are wild squirrels. Geez- I can barely get my child to sit still for a good photo! It is a very unique idea and I bet it is a lot of fun to make all those tiny squirrel sized props!I feel like I have to dock a star though just because I think the story was a little simple. We follow Mr. Peanut as he prepares for Christmas and goes for a visit to Cousin Squirrel's house. We see all the fun things they do together such as build a snowman and exchange gifts. It's enough to keep a little one's attention but it kind of seemed as though the story was inspired by the photographs so was a little choppy in parts.On second thought, there are tiny squirrel sized crochet sweaters. I think that deserves a full 5.
