“The squirrel makes a very attractive and interesting pet,” and so beings a charming tale.
Axel Scheffler of The Gruffalo fame has yet again used his amazing sense of the ridiculous, coupled with his enormous talent as an illustrator to present a slice of times gone bye to the modern child and not so young child.
This fabulous little book, based on information found in a children’s encyclopaedia from 1910, is one the entire family will enjoy, from grandma –who just may know all about keeping squirrels – to the youngest family member.
Absolutely fascinating information, 1900’s style, is contained in this book for anyone who really and truly wants to try and keep a squirrel as a pet – if of course they can first find a squirrel who really and truly wants to be kept as a pet!
A group of year 2 students also reviewed this book and here are some of the things they had to say:

- Zachary: I like the book because it is very, very, very funny
- Cody: I would like to have a pet squirrel
