Squirrel World — Johanna Hurwitz

“This solidly written, charmingly illustrated book will appeal to readers clamoring for animal tales” -- from the award-winning author of PeeWee and Plush (Booklist).
 
Squirrels Lexington (Lexi) and Lenox decide to visit the New York City streets they were named after. Lexi is worried about leaving Central Park, but Lenox is confident that their streets will be beautiful places, maybe even better than the park!
 
When the two squirrels venture into the city, they soon realize that the human world is stranger and more dangerous than they'd ever imagined. This fourth exciting Park Pals tale brings back the fun, adventure, and favorite furry characters that this award-winning series is known for.
