This is the boardbook version of the wonderful hard back edition by Edward Gibbs. Follow The Acorn as he tried to persude the woodland animals not to eat him.
This gentle tale follows the story of a little acorn who manages to convince the woodland animals not to eat him. The animals are later rewarded for their patience when the little acorn grows and flourishes into a glorious big oak tree who can provide food for the whole forest. A delightful story that also conveys underlying concepts about food chains and sustainable consumption.
