- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Summary: It is January 1st, so Squirrel decides to make a New Year's resolution. However, she does not know how to do that. Squirrel first goes to Bear for help and Bear tells Squirrel that he is going to teach Skunk how to read. Squirrel then goes to Skunk who is sick in bed. Squirrel helps make Skunk feel better by making her laugh. Afterwards, Squirrel meets Mole and helps Mole and Turtle find a good place to plant a garden. Squirrel heads to the diner, where she runs into Porcupine. Porcupine's resolution was to be less grumpy, so Squirrel tells him funny jokes to cheer him up. Squirrel realizes that she still does not have a resolution, but when her friends come in and thank her for helping all of them, she realized her resolution was to help someone everyday. Review: I thought the main idea of this book was to help students realize that they should help others whenever they are given the chance. The message was made clear as Squirrel helped each of her friends, even when they did not ask for help. She was able to cheer up Skunk and Porcupine, and she even helped Mole and Turtle find a place to plant their garden. Squirrel shows the readers what a true friend does and the importance of helping others when the chance arises. I thought this book was a great read and it also could teach students what a resolution is. It can also teach them how to make a good resolution that is beneficial to everyone.

Squirrel hears on the radio that New Year's Day is a great day to make resolutions but doesn't know what one is. Once she finds out, she is determined to make a resolution of her own, but she can't think of anything. Along the way, she helps several of her friends, and realizes by the end of the story that she can use her natural inclination toward helping her friends to resolve to help someone every day. While the story is a little on the preachy side, it is a good conversation starter about kids' own resolutions for the New Year. Bright and energetic illustrations in acrylics of Squirrel and her friends add to the cheery mood.
