[Diane Gabriel · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lovely short read during a short travel stint about the British Red Squirrel, whose numbers have been declining thanks to the American Gray Squirrel. The illustrations by Marjorie Blamey are why I purchased this book in the first place- as I collect her works. She is a favourite female nature artist along with Marianne North. I hope there are more in circulation as I think they make lovely and informative children's books, not to mention beautiful art. If you want to read it for free check out Archive.org
