Rebecca J. Storey's Sammy Squirrel is an entertaining work about a little squirrel named Sammy. Sammy lives in a pine tree behind Grandpa's house. He has lots of friends he likes to visit with, play with, and share with. Charlie Chickadee and Billy Blue Jay are his two best friends. Sammy and all of the different birds like to share the sunflower seeds that Grandpa puts in the bird feeders. In additions to his bird friends, Sammy also plays with his cousin Steven Squirrel. They climb and jump and play hide-and-seek. After they are done, they make sure to go eat some more of the sunflower seeds that Grandpa has put out for them and the birds. Sammy has a lot of good friends and a nice home, as well as someone to take care of him. He has a good life. Sammy Squirrel is a piece that tells an entertaining story that aims to show children the importance of taking care of animals as well as the importance of friends.

Do some animals think and act like people? According to Rosseter, the answer is yes - animals have thoughts and feelings just as you do. As any child with a pet will tell you, there is a bond of compassion that exists between them. Reading these stories will help you understand why animals have a place in this world. Parents, read these stories with your children. I'm sure Dr. Woo would approve. Wait! Who's Dr. Woo? Start with the first story and become acquainted with him. He'll introduce you to a new way of looking at the world. Born in 1926 and reared in Chicago, Patrick W. Rosseter became a journeyman printer-typesetter, following his father's footsteps, after coming home from the Army Air Corps. He's been married for 49 years - the 50th will be on Valentine's Day in '09. He has fathered three sons and a daughter and is the greatest "Grampa" to four illustrious grandsons, without whose encouragement these stories would never have came to be. Mr. Rosseter's only hobbies (pursuits) are reading and working out with the weights - when he can. He is a Michigan Senior Olympic Champion for the years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007.

“The Professor will be so happy. We have proven that the Virtues really do work to create Return to Paradise,” Happy the Bluebird chattered excitedly. If Happy and Bright-Wings the Cardinal could have seen just behind their backs, they would have noticed that inside each of their backpacks was a glowing Virtue stone. Bright and steady as a star, each stone shone with the word Wonder. “Thank you, God,” Professor Tortoise whispered to herself. Then she looked out the window, saying, “Thank you, Happy and Bright-Wings,” to the two birds as they flew in through the window of her office, “for the Virtue Mission accomplished.” “Time for a party!” exclaimed Happy. “Good idea,” said Bright-Wings. “Professor Tortoise, do you happen to have a bowl of water around? I am quite thirsty.” “Here you go. A big bowl of sparkling, clear water for both of you. Let’s celebrate Return to Paradise,” said the beaming Professor. So they did.
