| Summary |
"The Life Story of a Squirrel" by T. C. Bridges is an animal autobiography written in the early 20th century. This charming work follows the experiences of a young squirrel named Scud as he navigates the challenges of woodland life, learns to climb and jump, and faces both natural threats and human intruders. The narrative is likely to appeal to readers who enjoy stories that offer a perspective of nature through an animal's eyes. At the start of the book, Scud recounts his first climbing lesson, filled with trepidation and excitement, as he learns from his mother while observing his siblings. Soon, the tranquil lessons are disrupted when two humans threaten their nest, leading to a heart-pounding escape sequence. The opening vividly captures the innocence and vulnerability of Scud and his family, setting the stage for the adventures and dangers he will face in his life, outlining both the beauty of nature and the perils it harbors.
