Summary: While dipping into The Children's Encyclopaedia of
1910, Axel Scheffler came across a small but indispensable guide to procuring
and caring for your pet squirrel. Intrigued by the unlikely notion of a child
attempting to keep so wild an animal, Axel created a series of delightful,
beautifully finished illustrations to accompany the text.
Angie’s comments: The text is fantastic, partly from the idea of keeping a pet
squirrel, partly from the relatively sophisticated understanding of what a pet
squirrel needs. The pictures add to the text, but the text is funny enough to
stand on its own.
Recommended for readers who want some quick
humor.
