Amazon Description
Miss Suzy is a little gray squirrel who lives happily in her oak-tree home until she is chased away by some mean red squirrels. Poor Miss Suzy is very sad. But soon she finds a beautiful dollhouse and meets a band of brave toy soldiers.How Miss Suzy and the soldiers help each other makes a gentle, old-fashioned tale that has captured the imaginations of girls and boys alike for forty years. Arnold Lobel's enchanting pictures are sure to make the kind squirrel and the gallant soldiers the everlasting friends of all who turn these pages.
One Potato Review
Toy soldiers to the rescue! Good thing, because those brutish red squirrels weren’t about to redeem themselves. “Will you go peaceably, or must we fight?” asks the captain, drawing his sword, before Miss Suzy is finally restored to her life of domestic tranquility at the top of that swaying oak. Old-fashioned, yes (this book was originally published in 1964), but there’s nothing dated about the satisfaction of bullies asking for trouble, and getting it.
