At five Rollo enjoys playing in the woods, whether he&#8217;s building a wigwam, setting a trap for a squirrel, or rescuing a baby bird. Yet events don&#8217;t always turn out the ways he wants &#8211; the squirrel escapes, the blueberry expedition is delayed by rain and, when it finally does happen, he encounters trouble on the mountain. Yet Jonas and his parents help Rollo through all his difficulties, sometimes by aiding him directly but mostly by prompting him to think about his behavior and come to a resolution himself.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Additional information:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ages:&nbsp; <\/strong><em>7-10<\/em><span><strong>Length:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><span> <\/span><em><span>137 pages<\/span><\/em><span><span><span><span><strong>Format:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span><span>Paperback, Ebook<\/span><\/span><\/em><span><strong>Illustrations:<\/strong><\/span><em><strong><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span><span><span><span><strong><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span>&nbsp;Black and white<\/span><\/em><span><span><span><span><strong>Year published:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span><span><span><span>2009<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><span><span><span><strong>ISBN:<\/strong>&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span><em><\/em><em>978-1-59915-343-8<\/em><span><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><strong><span>Genres:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span><span><span><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: px;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Npx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: Napx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: NaNpx;\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: .px;\"><span>&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span>Literature, Fiction<\/span><\/em>                    <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Purchase book at Amazon<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Add print book to cart<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Add ebook to cart<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>1.
