Squirrel drops a precious hazelnut and the snowfall buries it. The woodland animals and birds come and go, but no-one finds the nut - and in the spring a little tree sprouts in its place. A beautiful, collectible, pop-up with a simple, charming text, illustrating the passing of the seasons in a woodland landscape. Stunning, graphic artwork in a limited colour palette and superb paper engineering make this a collectible for children and adults alike.
