Squirrel is prepared to sell everything he has for The Really Beautiful Thing, but at what cost? A cautionary tale with a heartwarming ending about the force of greed and the power of friendship and family. Squirrel isnt sure what The Really Beautiful Thing is or even what it does all he knows is that he wants it. When he cant afford the price, he sells his comfy sofa, his fridge full of food, and even the house he shared with his friends . . . The Really Beautiful Thing costs Squirrel everything, and when it turns out to be A Really Useless Thing, will his friends be there to help him pick up the pieces? The perfect story to share with little ones about consumerism, greed and obsession, that teaches us we can't always have everything we want . . . and that our loved ones will always be there to help us when we lose our way.
