She decides it s high time Earl learns to find acorns for himself. There s only one problem he doesn t know where to look. Earl s friend Jill offers to help, but that s not what Earl s mother had in mind. So, wearing his bright red scarf, Earl sets off on his own for an action-packed acornfinding mission. Striking black-and-white scratchboard art is accented by Earl s crimson scarf. The effect is classic, clean, and thoroughly recognizable as Don Freeman s signature style.
