Tesh | 66 comments A children's picture book about a girl and a squirrel(I'm sure it's a squirrel) and a treehouse/swing, and the squirrel falls and breaks its leg? The illustrations were drawn, coloured with perhaps pencil/watercolour.
I read this as a kid maybe early 2000's and I only read it once but I can't find it again.
I don't remember the book as very old, probably published after early '90s.

Tab (tabbrown) | 5084 comments Tesh, could did the squirrel talk? Could it talk to the girl?

What happens after the squirrel breaks its leg? Does the girl nurse it back to health?

Tesh | 66 comments Kris - thanks for the suggestion but no, that's not it. The illustrations were a bit less cartoony, too.

Tab - The girl and the squirrel were friends, but I have no definite memory that the squirrel talked. I think the girl did bandage the squirrel's leg and help it get better.

This isn't your book (it's about a bird not a squirrel), but you might find it interesting.

Here is the description from Amazon's UK site:

"Marianne was a small china doll who lived in a tree house with her best friend, a toy squirrel. Unfortunately, Squirrel was a bit of a show-off, and he fell from the roof and hurt his leg. So Squirrel had to go to the Hospital for Sick Toys."

Tesh | 66 comments That's it! Thanks so much Tab. I'd forgotten the girl was actually a doll and they went to a toy hospital.

Tab (tabbrown) | 5084 comments You're welcome :)
I noticed you spelled "colored" with a "U," so I decided to try searching Amazon's UK site.
