In a pouring rain, Miss Suzy takes shelter in an empty old house in which she happens upon an abandoned dollhouse in the attic. One day her world is turned upside down by a gang of quarrelsome red squirrels who break up her house, eat all the food she had stored for the winter, and chase her away. She sings as she cooks and cleans, and loves being rocked to sleep by the wind while looking at the stars through the oak’s branches. Miss Suzy loves her little house in the top of an oak tree. I would love this dear little gray squirrel even if the book had no words. Miss Suzy’s story is sweet, but Lobel’s illustrations are even sweeter. How did that happen? I didn’t get to share this sweet story with my kids when they were little, but my grandkids love it. I’m only two years older than Miss Suzy, but I had never seen the book until last year.
