A charming, funny picture book that teaches young readers aged 3–6 that the key to happiness isn't acquiring more and more stuff—it's friendship!

When Squirrel and Mouse set off on a lovely walk, Squirrel can’t help but spot more and more things he wants . . .

A hat! A tie! A boingy stick! A paddling pool! A robot! A go-kart! Squirrel wants it ALL!

It’s only when Mouse gets fed up and goes home that Squirrel discovers he has lost sight of the most important thing of all . . . his good friend Mouse!

From award-winning author and illustrator Ged Adamson, this laugh-out-loud story is the perfect way to show young readers that the most important things in life are the things money cannot buy.
