Exploring the duality of human experience, this poetry collection delves into themes of suffering, physical pain, and the profound sadness surrounding loss and death, including that of innocent animals. Yet, amidst the darkness, it also celebrates moments of joy and humor, showcasing the lively spirit of animals like Labrador retrievers, penguins, and cats. The poems reflect on the contrasts of life, highlighting both the sorrowful and the comedic aspects of modern existence, reminding readers of the balance between grief and laughter.

Peter Hartley wrote the poems in this book in a little over a year but they represent many of the joys and some of the sorrows of a lifetime.

Why is the little red squirrel so grumpy? Everything had been carefully planned, or so he thought. Much of the autumn had been spent burying his nuts around his beautiful garden ready to be collected once winter arrived. But now winter was here and large 'things' had appeared in the garden, a pirate ship, a teepee, a fairy village, a tree house and a huge swing that were now hiding where his precious nuts had been buried. What's more, whenever he ventured out to search for his collection of nuts, other animals were there to scare him away. He couldn't understand where they had come from, a fox, a dog, a cat and a very scary owl all tried to catch him. How can he find his buried treasure trove of nuts without becoming supper for one of these wild animals?
