Squeak’s family used to live in a big nest lined with leaves and dry grass. The little squirrel remembered a mother who loved and cared for them. But one morning, there were loud noises outside the nest. “VRR VRRR! VRR VRRR!” Their branch started shaking, then the whole nest fell to the ground. Two men were trimming the tree! “Hey, look,” one said. “Baby squirrels!” Squeak felt something big and wet lick him. Yuck, what was that? A dog’s tongue? The dog picked Squeak up in his wet mouth and ran happily around the yard. “EEP EEP!” Squeak cried. “EEEP! EEEEP!” Oh, no! What will happen to Squeak and his brother and sister now? Find out in Squeak the Squirrel, based on the true story of a rescue squirrel named Squeak. The book will delight any child or classroom and fits perfectly into lesson areas for humane education or compassion discussions. Excellent for ages seven and up, Squeak the Squirrel is a great choice for family bedtime, classroom, or solo listening adventures.

The Squirrel-Cage is the story of Lydia Emery, a brilliant young woman from a conventional upper-middle-class family, who allows herself to be steered into marriage with Paul Hollister, an ambitious but tiresome businessman, despite the fact that she is in love with Daniel Rankin, a revolutionary, idealistic cabinetmaker. The novel captures the trapped feeling of many married women of the early twentieth century, but it is flawed by an easy solution, a dynamo accident which leaves Lydia a widow.Includes a biography of the Author

The house of the Emery family was a singularly good example of the capacity of wood and plaster and brick to acquire personality. It was the physical symbol of its owners’ position in life; it was the history of their career, written down for all to see, and as such they felt in it the most justifiable pride. When Mr. and Mrs. Emery, directly after their wedding in a small Central New York village, had gone West to Ohio they had spent their tiny capital in building a small story-and-a-half cottage, ornamented with the jig-saw work and fancy turning popular in , and this had been the nucleus of their present rambling, picturesque, many-roomed home. Every step in the long series of changes which had led from its first state to its last had a profound and gratifying significance for the Emerys, and its final condition, prosperous, modern, sophisticated, with the right kind of woodwork in every room that showed, with the latest, most unobtrusively artistic effects in decoration, represented their culminating well-earned position in the inner circle of the best society of Endbury.

Children's illustrated story in rhyming verse. Cyril is a forgetful squirrel who keeps on forgetting where he's put his acorns, even when he buries them under something he thinks he can't miss! A funny tale which teaches children about trees growing and the cycle of the seasons, with bold, vibrant illustrations. Young children can also click on the acorns for interactive counting up to five.Cyril the Squirrel is the first title in the series, Cyril the Squirrel and Friends. Other books available include Brian the Lion, Myrtle the Turtle and Lola Clare the Polar Bear. The books are set in varied contexts around the world. Suitable to be read aloud to toddlers and preschool children, but also for older children (up to age 8) as they are learning to read, this series of books deliberately includes a few longer or slightly less common words (like "plucky" and "glisten") in order to encourage early absorption of a wider English vocabulary, as this has been proved to benefit literacy and development later on. The rhyming character names also teach children about the idiosyncrasies of English pronunciation. Besides this, the books remain funny, happy animal stories for all children to enjoy.

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.
