A great aunt gave me this book about 20 yrs ago, and I've treasured it ever since. If you can find a used copy that you can afford it, go ahead and buy it: you won't be disappointed. It's a hilarious story of the author's relationship with a squirrel he rescued when it was a baby, about as big as his thumb. Pretty soon it grew up and virtually took over this man's house, his food, his life, and his world. Loving as this squirrel could be, she also seemed to have a mean streak, particularly if he dared to invite females into the home.Great little story.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is a wonderful book. I recommend it to any animal lover or anyone who appreciates the various personalities animals posses. It is at the same time humorous and touching. A highly entertaining and enduring story.

This is an excellent book for anyone who has ever found an orphaned baby squirrel and tried to raise it. Plus, it has an element of humor that is well done.
