Harold's Tail

(3) 4-6 Harold is a happy squirrel living off the generosity of humans in a small park in New York City until, on a dare, he lets a rat shave off his tail fur. The new Harold, mistaken for a rat, spends a hard year learning to fend for himself. Marciano's illustrated rat tale has humor, a bit of adventure, and some quirky characters to keep young readers engaged.
