What is The Lost Acorns about?

Winter is on its way, and Percy the park keeper is busy planting bulbs so the park will be full of colour in spring. But someone keeps digging them up! Percy soon discovers that Squirrel has lost her acorns and is mistaking his carefully planted bulbs for perfect hiding places. As Percy helps Squirrel search for her missing food, the animals uncover a surprising culprit and work together to put everything right before winter arrives.
