🌲 A Peek Inside the Story:

Deep in the forest, where the mice run free...

a skippy little squirrel was as skippy as can be.

He skipped below a bluebird
and he skipped beside a moose.

He skipped over a raccoon—
and a rabbit running loose—YEE-HAW!

He skipped right past a porcupine
and skipped under an owl.

He skipped above a bear—(BIG SCARE!!)
and skipped off to a GROWL.

(GRRRRR!)

(You get the idea!)

This playful story makes practicing prepositions and position words more meaningful, engaging, and memorable for young learners.
