21st January Squirrel Appreciation Day

The 21st January is Squirrel Appreciation Day and as I live in Australia where the only squirrels in the wild are some northern palm squirrels that stem from those that escaped from Perth Zoo, I get to appreciate them mostly through picture books, where they make amazingly popular and  amazingly cute book characters. I have written about them before. Here you will see all the series of books for young children that feature squirrels.

Today, here's a 'scurry' of picture books that I like.
