Book Cover & Preview Text
Enlow was a little squirrel with very big thoughts. Clever and adventurous, he sought what he ought not. From the tip of his bushy tail to his pouchy little cheeks, Enlow spouted dreams and plans whenever he would speak. Ma and Pop worried about how poor Enlow fidgeted so, And in their protective way, each day they watched his curiosity grow. “This town is small. I need to see the places in my books. The seas, the mountains, the plains, the stars. I have to take a look.” “But, Enlow, dear,” his ma explained, “you have so much here to love.” She placed a knapsack on his back and gave him a gentle shove. “Start here, my son, and you will see all Jasper has in store. I promise all you’ll ever need is waiting outside our door.”
