    About this ebook

    Meet Chatterton Squirrel, the smallest in his family and the most frightened. While Chatterton's parents were teaching their young how to leap from tree to tree, Chatterton kept looking down at the ground, worried that he would fall. Hamilton noticed how scared Chatterton looked and decided he should help. In the end, Chatterton was able to take the big leap and make his family proud!

    This story helps those who are afraid of trying new things and shows there is always a way, so long as you believe.

    Excerpt from Midwest Book Review: ...Told in rhyme, with hint vocabulary definitions on select pages, the Hamilton Troll Series is first class educational entertainment for children age 4 and up. The bright and breezy color illustrations make the story come alive.

    ...the best bit about this book is the narrative of rhyme which is sophisticated, child oriented and has good rhythm. I can imagine reading this to my granddaughter at quite a pace, and keeping her interest with the words and the fine detail in the pictures.
