A squirrel who is scared of heights and can't climb trees. Another who is allergic to acorns. Squirrels playing jockeys and 'horse racing' on dogs. How squashed-up Squidgy got his name. And how last in sports day races Twiggy came out a winner. The squirrels' escapades sometimes get them into difficulties and contain an important but gentle safety message for children. But all's well in the end, partly thanks to Wise Old Owl and even the fire brigade. There is never a dull moment in the exciting adventures of Squidgy, his brother and sisters, and their friends. Even Squidgy says that one of the stories is the nuttiest thing he has ever heard of. So, join them in the wonderful wood where they all live and join in the fun.
