In this book the character does not pay attention to what he is doing and just keeps running every where and does not realize that he needs to stop and look to see what is going on. The main idea of this story is even when you’re in a rush you need to be careful or something bad could happen.

One reason I like that book is that it relates to people who are always in a rush and not paying any attention to what they are doing. In the book it shows this through Filbert just running through the street not paying any attention to what is going on around him and causing an accident. Another reason I like this book is that the story is told in a rhyme. For example “She tosses him a sack. “Run to Granny’s. Hurry back.” I like that the whole story is told in this way. ( )

Filbert the squirrel learns the importance of looking both ways before crossing the street in simple, action-filled text. ( )
