Category: Squirrel

Some squirrels prepare carefully for winter; others would rather dance, chase a glowing acorn or talk to a tree that tells terrible jokes. Nibbles and Skippy learn to balance work and play, Rosie finds a gentle way to rescue a prickly hedgehog, and Mimo has to put right the trouble he has caused. These forest bedtime stories move between cosy humour and small adventures, with recurring ideas about sharing, resourcefulness, forgiveness and helping a friend.

How Rosie Helps the Hedgehog

Rosie the squirrel hears a hedgehog calling for help, but his prickles hurt her paws when she tries to free him. In this short hedgehog bedtime story, a few fallen leaves give Rosie an idea. Follow her gentle rescue and the happy roll home that follows.

Nibbles and Skippy

Careful Nibbles gathers nuts while playful Skippy dances through autumn. When winter snow arrives, the squirrel brothers learn that work, play, forgiveness, and sharing all belong in the same cozy hollow.

The Talking Tree and the Lost Squirrel

Nibbles needs a home after his old tree falls down. In this squirrel bedtime story, a talking tree named Sir Barkington offers a perfect hollow and an endless supply of terrible jokes. Can Nibbles get used to such a talkative new friend?

The Hottest Day in Vivi’s Forest

The heat has emptied the clearing where Vivi usually plays. In this forest animal bedtime story, the little squirrel searches the woods and city park for her friends, discovers their shady hiding places, and brings them together to share water and plant more trees.
