This was a cute didactic tale about a chipmunk secretly collecting nuts for a squirrel who does not want to except anyone's charity. My 5 year old was very engaged by the colorfully illustrated animals and the idea of doing something secretly. I appreciated that the book sweetly described levels of charity: not only was Hanina the chipmunk collecting nuts to give to someone else but also she was doing it in a way that would not embarrass the recipient - an increase in empathy which imparts wisdom. Although, I can't guarantee my kid understood the lesson completely sweet books like these create touchstones for when an opportunity for considering charity options comes up in our life.
