Summary

Perfect for fans of Sophie Mouse and Critter Club, the first three fun-filled books in the Squirlish illustrated chapter book series about a girl raised by the squirrels in Central Park are now available in one marvelous shrink-wrapped collection!

Cordelia is a little girl who lives in a tree in Central Park. Found as a baby and raised by an adoring squirrel named Shakespeare, Cordelia acts just like any other young squirrel, leaping across treetops, chasing her squirrel friends, and sleeping in her nest in a tree. Still, she wonders what it would be like to have a human friend, and when she stumbles into a gymnastics class, it seems like she might have her chance.

Living in a tree might have made Cordelia an exceptional gymnast, but people skills are a whole other matter. If Cordelia can’t fit in with the other kids, can she at least make one friend? She also uses her skills to babysit a squirrel prince and solve a ghostly mystery. Cordelia is on her journey to be—not exactly a girl, but more than a squirrel—squirlish!

This charming paperback shrink-wrapped collection includes:
The Girl in the Tree
Shark in the Park
Central Park Ghost
