Scamper Squirrel will have a lot of fun this summer at camp, although if he knew the trouble that Calamity Catie and the sea monster would cause, he might not be so happy about going. Illustrated in color.

Caldecott Honor winner David Ezra Stein’s lively tale is a fantastic read-aloud, and feisty Mama Squirrel will have fierce mamas everywhere applauding! Ol’ Mama Squirrel has raised lots of babies, and she knows just how to protect them. Whenever trouble comes nosing around, she springs into action with a determined “Chook, chook, chook!” and scares trouble away. Her bravery is put to the test, however, when a really big threat wanders into town and onto her tree. But no matter what, Mama’s not about to back down!

Scamper the squirrel enjoys each season, from spring's bright flowers to summer picnics, colorful autumn leaves, and winter's blanket of snow.
