George the Squirrel

language (Evergreen Press March 10, 2015)
George the Squirrel...an unexpected houseguest!

When George came into the lives of Libby, Willy, and Cole, they had no idea how much fun they would have with the baby grey squirrel—nor how much trouble he would get into!

He was so cuddly, and the sounds he made so cute, that their parents agreed to take in the orphan baby squirrel—provided he obeyed the rules! But more about that in a moment.

After a trip to the vet to make sure George was healthy, the family learned how to feed him special milk from a doll’s bottle. He lived in a shoe box except when he was out roaming about the house. That’s when trouble usually started. Like the time when he snuck out of his box and disrupted the family’s 4th of July party. When he jumped onto Aunt June’s head, Aunt Sharon fainted away!

One day George looked out the window at the other squirrels climbing trees and having squirrel fun. He thought he should be outside with the others. But he loved his adopted family. What was George ever to do? Come along with George, Libby, Willy, and Cole on a wonderful journey of discovery!

Based on a true story, George’s adventure teaches kids the importance of loving and caring for domestic and wild animals. Of course adopting a wild animal should always be done with adult supervision, the involvement of your vet, and under the guidance of your local animal control shelter.
