Gray Squirrel

This classic living nature lore book by Joseph Wharton Lippincott, first published in 1921, is a story for young readers about Gray Squirrel and his unlikely friendship with man.

Part heartwarming story, part plea for conservation and animal protection, the story of Gray Squirrel follows his life from the time he fell from his mother's reach as a baby, to be picked up by Old George, to becoming "King Squirrel" and starting a family of his own. He finds himself in many adventures and just as many hardships along the way (many at the hands of men).

Real knowledge of squirrels and other woods folk are woven throughout the story, making this a great reading selection for homeschool natural history lessons, or for children who love real animals.
