The Adventures of Chatterer the Red Squirrel

Chatterer the Red Squirrel loves to chatter, boast, and stir up trouble—until Shadow the Weasel turns the Green Forest into a place of real danger. After a frantic escape, Chatterer must face the trouble his sharp tongue and pride have caused. As he warns the other forest folk and looks for a safer winter home, he learns that fear can give way to trust. In a gentle ending, Farmer Brown’s boy shows him unexpected kindness, and Chatterer discovers that an enemy may not be an enemy after all.
