He slides down the special squirrel entrance into a pile of cut-up tree branches (how thoughtful the humans are ), takes some of the food they've clearly made for him, and buries it in the pots of dirt they've left out. What a warm welcome  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But when Cuddles catches sight of him and mayhem erupts, the smallest of the humans takes the blame for causing trouble. No one but Twitch the squirrel notices when the boy runs out into the snow. . . Or when he trips and hurts his ankle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Can the dog and squirrel put aside their differences, and figure out how to let the humans know their littlest one needs help? And is there more of that party food to celebrate with after? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With short, funny chapters and lively pen-and-ink illustrations, the Twitch the Squirrel books are perfect to share and read aloud, or for young readers beginning to seek out longer books on their own. Told from the animals' point of view, they make a great introduction to narrative perspective--and most importantly, they're always hilarious. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For more of Twitch's adventures, check out \u003ci\u003e8 Class Pets + 1 Squirrel   1 Dog = Chaos\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSquirrel in the Museum\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVivian Vande Velde is the Edgar-winning author of more than twenty books for children and young adults, including many ALA Best Books for Young Adults.
