''Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk'' - or to give it its full title, ''Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary'' - is a collection of animal fables by American humorist Creator/DavidSedaris. It can be seen as a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Literature/AesopsFables'', although if anything the morals and the way they play out is [[DarkerAndEdgier even more cynical]]. With gorgeous art by veteran children's illustrator Ian Falconer, the book could make a tempting gift for young children. Shoppers are strongly advised to read it through before [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids making that call]].
