Cassandra Federman spent much of her childhood in Massachusetts tromping through the temperate deciduous forest--though at the time, she just called it "the woods." Over the course of her life, she has been many things: a hand model, a wrestler, a manatee rescuer, an actor, and a mystic wood elf--but her favorite so far has been an author-illustrator. Her previous books include This Is a Sea Cow, This Is a Seahorse, which won the ILA Children's & Young Adults' Book Award, and the middle grade graphic novel, Story Spinners.

"Federman's tale....strikes an agreeably madcap, off-the-wall tone. The digitally created illustrations are dynamic and funny....Nutty fun." --Kirkus Reviews

"The story is full of slapstick ­humor and facts about forest animals....exciting and humorous." --School Library Journal

"Fans of Watt's Scaredy Squirrel will likely delight in the adventures of yet another goofy, loveable rodent." --The Bulletin
