CHESTNUT SQUIRREL

by Henry Steels Commager ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 1, 1952

This has the earmarks of a twice told tale of the family circle, which someone thought ought to be put into book form. Personally, I don't feel that it measures up to the requirements, though it is a competent enough story of a mischievous squirrel. He breaks all the rules small children will recognize (and furthermore gets away with it); he is disobedient, greedy, naughty, and continually in and out of trouble. If one likes humanizing animals -- in not too convincing imitation of the classic examples- this will probably serve as a time passer.
