The Adventures of Sammy the Squirrel Nicholas Crabtree

Sammy is a squirrel an adventurous squirrel his friends would say, often mischievous and daring and always curious. Sammy was easily bored and today was no exception, but this day was about to become exciting and a little scary too. Sammy had recently found a piece of wood in the swamp, a flat piece of wood with a nail sticking out at one end. Ever since his discovery he had dreamed up all sorts of ideas for the piece of wood. His favorite idea was to push it out into the swamp and sail around on it playing a pirate or an intrepid adventurer seeking out new worlds. Sammy's best friend was Scrappytail or Scrappy for short. Scrappy was enjoying a sleep in on a nice sunny morning when Sammy came bounding along a branch and jumped up on the side of his nest. After some convincing Sammy persuades Scrappy to go with him to the swamp to find the piece of wood. Once they successfully launch the wood, the adventure begins. Their sailing ship gets out of control and carries them off towards some scary rapids, and even more scary areas beyond the swamp. Follow Sammy and Scrappy as they go sailing in this first story about Sammy the squirrel and his big adventures.
