Book Description
Shelby is a young Flying Squirrel who lives with his mother and his twin sister, Darby. This delightful series of adventures includes necessary lessons for skills the young ones will need as adults, and endless fun and excitement as Shelby explores the world around him. Shelby hiccups and stutters when he is upset or nervous, trouble finds him much too easily, and growing up is not what he wants to do. The forest provides him with many good friends, but when their beloved meadow is changed forever they all move to the woods beside a farm, where Shelby meets and learns about farm animals, a whole new experience. The stories relate loosely to the realities of wild Flying Squirrels, but liberal poetic licence allows much more to happen. SHELBY F. SQUIRREL is the perfect introduction to learning more about real Flying Squirrels, one of Nature's very little-known and most amazing creatures.
