Bouncing up and down on a ball. Playing heavy metal music. Sleeping in the bedroom doorway.

In each episode, the squirrels earn a badge (and a hug) by learning about something new.

On the rare occasions my French husband watches with me, we have to switch on the subtitles because, as he bemoans, ‘Why don’t they open their mouths when they speak?’ ✍️ Naomi Firsht https://t.co/ZkWiNja3DB
