SynopsisFor use in schools and libraries only. Unhappy about the noise and clutter of the city, a squirrel travels west to find peace and quiet in the forest of giant trees he has heard about.
Imaginative story by Bill Peet. The main character, Merle the squirrel, plans to travel to see the Giant Redwood trees that he heard a man talking about in the city park. Little does Merle know about distances and if he can give there by following telephone lines (which he was told travel "everywhere"), but he tries. This turns into one great adventure for the squirrel that was skittish and nervous in the noisy, bustling city at the beginning of the story. Wonderful children's story with a bit of a lesson.
