Mr. Wellington

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Robert Andrew Parker. Jonathan brings an injured squirrel to a wildlife rehabilitator who cares for "Mr. Wellington" until he can be returned to the wild. Mr. Wellington is sickly and sleeps a lot, and Jonathan tracks his progress via e-mails. The sympathetic narrative, told alternately from the squirrel's and Jonathan's points of view, lacks emotional punch. Squiggly black-and-white illustrations decorate most pages.
