ABOUT
The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel is looking for something extra special today: the Golden Acorn. Is it in the tree? (No, that acorn is purple.) How about at the beach? (Oops, those are just dog bones.) Could Frankie have Golden Acorns on his food truck menu? (No, but that waffle looks tasty!) Maybe Sophie the otter has seen it in the sea? Or Hoppy Floppy might find it in the meadow? Wait—here comes a gust of wind, blowing a pile of leaves . . . Inspired by the popular game celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2021, this book offers lots of flaps to explore and a wheel to turn. Bright and sturdy, the Sneaky Snacky Squirrel's second adventure will keep readers occupied as it helps strengthen color recognition and classification skills.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
