Carte - Squirrel in the House, Paperback/Vivian Vande Velde

A gleefully oblivious Squirrel narrates this rib-tickling chapter book about how he turns a family get together upside-down. Squirrel, the chief mischief maker from 8 Class Pets + 1 Squirrel 1 Dog = Chaos is ready to party. He enters Cuddles-the-dog's house through a special entrance for squirrels on the roof, aka the chimney. Holiday festivities are soon in shambles, and Cuddles, the presumed culprit, is banished to the basement. Meanwhile, the littlest human runs away into a snowstorm unnoticed by everyone except Squirrel. Long-suffering Cuddles must team up with the willfully obtuse Squirrel to rescue the child in this comical story told from a squirrel-centric point of view.
