The Sun Thief by Alice Hemming brings back the charming character Squirrel, who is delighting in the long, sunny summer days. However, confusion arises when Bird decides to go to bed while the sun is still shining brightly. Squirrel finds this quite peculiar, as he believes falling asleep when it's still light outside is unthinkable.

The mystery deepens as the sun seems to disappear earlier each night, leading Squirrel to suspect the handiwork of a sun thief. Determined to solve this mystery, Squirrel embarks on a mission to find the culprit. Along his journey, he encounters some fascinating nocturnal friends.

Thankfully, the sun eventually reappears, even if it doesn't linger for as long as Squirrel would like. This delightful tale invites readers to join Squirrel in an adventure filled with discovery and friendship.
