Did you ever wonder what dogs talk about to each other when we're not around? Well, for the most part they talk about things that their humans talk about. They discuss the weather and the state of the family and what they want for dinner, but most of all, they tell each other stories. All dogs love a good story and most of them are great story tellers as well. The Squirrel King is the first in a series of books that are the fairytales that older dogs tell to younger ones. These stories are passed down from one generation of dog to the next. They are told by mothers to their children and from one friend to another. In this first story, Abby has come to live with Molly and her human family. Abby is very young and Molly is much older, but not yet elderly. To get Abby to fall asleep one night, Molly begins to tell her the story of how the very first dogs met the very first squirrels. This is the story of The Squirrel King: Prince Ethan and Princess Sophia were just out playing one morning when they ran into a strange small creature sitting up in a tree. Prince Stephen was just out searching for a gift for his father when he looked down from his perch high in an ancient oak and saw the two giant animals below him. A sneeze and a falling acorn then sets off a chain of events that bring the Kingdom of Dogs and the Kingdom of Squirrels to the brink of war. The Squirrel King reminds us that no matter our differences, we are all very much the same, and that first impressions are not always correct ones. Come along on a learning adventure as two proud kingdoms try to put fear and misunderstanding aside and learn the truth about each other and themselves before time runs out.
