A squirrel is looking for an acorn he hid months before, but the bustle of Washington, D.C., makes it difficult. Corduroy author Don Freeman's son, Roy, finished this manuscript after his father's death. The story is little more than an excuse to illustrate our nation's capital. The conflict doesn't carry readers through; it's the landmarks' depictions that provide the real entertainment.
