A story told from both the perspective of a squirrel and a boy named Jonathan (who I would guess is 12 or so). It's a small, square book with a cutesy cover, but it's actually pretty sophisticated in terms of both the writing and the subject matter (Jonathan finds the baby squirrel after it falls out of its tree, tries to take care of it, and eventually releases it back into the wild). Not too different from The Cats of Roxville Station.

I didn't finish it because I thought it was a little boring and I have such a big pile of books to get through. ( )

Mr. Wellington is the first children's book written by playwright David Rabe. It's about a lost squirrel and the boy who finds him. The story is told alternatively from the point of view of the squirrel (Mr. Wellington) and the boy (Jonathan) who rescued him.

The book is aimed at ages 6-10 and is nicely illustrated by Robert Andrew Parker.

I found it very enjoyable and finished reading it in one sitting. I think this would be a very good book to give your children; it entertains but also teaches them what to do if they ever come across a lost baby squirrel or any other wild animal.
