Everyone needs a friend like Squirrel! While Squirrel's well-intended "help" to move his friends from routine and well-worn ruts takes a few humorous turns on the way to "fun," this romp is simply refreshing. It is a lighthearted look at the importance of self-regulation and values that culminates in a celebration of fun and friendship. Squirrel is determined to have a very fun day with each of his animal friends.

“Lovable characters, accessible text, and fresh, spirited illustrations combine nicely here.” —Kirkus Reviews

Energetic Squirrel is eager to make sure his friends have fun in four charming (mis)adventures. Mouse has cleaning to do, Turtle is too slow to run around the pond, and Rabbit is reluctant to alter his grass-eating routine, but Squirrel’s comedic assistance always makes for unexpected adventure. Welcome back the funny, exhausting Squirrel and his ever-patient friends in a medley of stories perfectly suited for reading alone or reading aloud.
