Gooseberry Park

134 pp. | Harcourt | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 0-15-232242-6
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Arthur Howard. Gooseberry Park is the home of Stumpy, a mother squirrel who makes friends with a bat named Murray, a Labrador retriever named Kona, and assorted other wildlife. A storm knocks down Stumpy's tree, leading to rescue efforts on the part of her friends. The story, which is simple, pleasant, and modestly exciting, is reminiscent of books from the 1950s.
