Happy Jack (Version 2)

Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel is living a carefree life in the Green Forest until one small act of carelessness turns his world upside down.

These stories teach without preaching, letting children discover the importance of thinking before acting, the value of quick thinking, and the bonds that hold a community together. Happy Jack's misadventure is a perfect entry point into a world where animals speak, forests teem with drama, and every creature has a lesson to learn.
