Squirrel Girl is a fantasy for children of all ages, the story of a 17th century squirrel who tried to organize the animals to stop the loss of forests on America's east coast. Maybe one bodacious 17th century squirrel couldn't save America's forests, but she and her furred and feathered army of the displaced used all their ingenuity to try. With the help of an immigrant calico cat and a brave passenger pigeon, among many others, she schemed to torment the settlers into going away, convincing predators and prey to cooperate in one grand effort. The settlers persisted, but she did not give up either, and, thanks to their spunk and determination, gray squirrels are still unbeatable today, hundreds of years later. Check your bird feeders if you doubt that.
