In the Evening — Edwina Wyatt

Oscar is bashful and longs for a friend to alleviate the loneliness of twilight. Can the gregarious Charlie find a way past Oscar's shyness to become that friend? This story of two young woodland squirrels traces a friendship that takes goodwill and perseverance to finally blossom. An encouraging tale that reflects many children's anxieties about forming friendships, In the Evening is also a lesson in the art of gentle persuasion.
