Scratchy the Squirrel

Scratchy the Squirrel: A Time for Friends, written by Paul Yanuziello, is an early reader chapter book designed to charm children in Grade 2 and up, as well as any reluctant readers or young listeners. It is written in easy-to-read language that is imaginative and fun.

Scratchy is a lovable black squirrel with a big heart. He avoids trouble and he dreams of flying, not being itchy and eating lots of tasty nuts. Scratchy comes to the rescue of an injured bumblebee. Scratchy and the bumblebee strike up an odd friendship in this story of love, compassion and survival.

Joshua Miller's delightful illustrations of these special friends and the world they live in bring this magical tale to life.
