About This Book
This is Ann Martins first person account of life as a stray dog
(Scholastic, 2005). Squirrel and her brother Bone are pups living in a
country estates garden shed. When their mother fails to return one day,
Squirrel follows her brother to look for a new home. Mother had taught
them basic survival skills -- to hunt for food and beware of
humans. On the road, they learn another life lesson -- to be wary of
highways with cars. Squirrel and Bone become separated, so Squirrel
moves on alone. She befriends Moon, another stray. The two dogs watch
out for each other, changing homes with the changing seasons. A fatal
car accident separates the two. Squirrel again sets out again on her
own, employing survival skills until she meets a woman named Susan and
finds a stable home. Wendy Dillons warm, calm voice is the perfect match
to tell the tale of the experience-worn Squirrel. She adds nuances of
pitch and tension to her voice when reading the few passages of
dialogue. This story begs to be listened to multiple times. A good
choice for animal lovers. --Stephanie Bange
