The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin

Beatrix Potter

About this resource

Squirrels visit an owl’s island while Nutkin turns the encounter into a series of riddles and interruptions. An adult can choose a short section for sound play and turn-taking; the threatening ending needs previewing rather than treating the whole tale as suitable for every young child.
