Illustrated by
Kay Chorao.
As Rosie waits with her aunt for her parents to come home, the young squirrel imagines several terrible scenarios that may hinder their safe return. Yet, with each scary vision, the brave Rosie creatively saves her parents from such dangers as a tiger, sea serpent, and fox. The playful illustrations capture the reality of Rosie's fear and her ability to overcome such worries.
