About this audiobook

Acorn season has arrived, and mischief is brewing! Nestled amongst the rustling leaves is Nutkin, a curious red squirrel with a tail that might be a little too short for his own good. Join him on a daring adventure to Owl Island, a place overflowing with the juiciest hazelnuts. But beware, for the island belongs to Old Brown, a wise and grumpy owl with a keen eye for trespassers. Will Nutkin's playful taunts land him in hot water? Or can he outsmart the owl and return home with a belly full of nuts? Buckle up for a charming tale of bravery, consequences, and the importance of respecting your elders in "The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin" by Beatrix Potter.
