On an ordinary day, you wouldn't expect to find a squirrel in your packet of nuts, but then again Erroll is no ordinary squirrel; he's a very special talking squirrel! When Erroll turns up in Bob's pack of Nutti Nutts, mess, chaos, destruction and peanut butter are not far behind and Bob finds himself embarking on mischief and adventure in his very own home...

About the Author:
Hannah Shaw graduated from Brighton University in 2004 with a BA in Illustration and since then she has continued to write her own stories and develop characters to illustrate them. She has worked as a freelance illustrator, graphic designer and a visiting lecturer for an Art Foundation course and her black and white illustrations are featured in two short story collections. Evil Weasel is her first picture book. Hannah lives near Stroud in Gloucestershire with Ben the blacksmith and Ren the crazy long-legged dog. She is passionate about drawing and thinks an over-active imagination is a good thing (except when she can't sleep at night because ideas keep popping into her head!)
From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 1—In this fanciful saga, young Bob finds a mischievous squirrel packed inside his bag of NuttiNutts snacks. Pandemonium ensues when he lets the hyperactive critter roam inside the house. The boy's mother is not amused by Erroll's antics (jumping on the couch, tipping over the potted plant) and insists that they drive him back to the forest to live with his squirrel pals. Children will enjoy poring over the brightly colored, busy cartoon illustrations, which feature everything nut-related. On one page readers can study a convoluted factory set-up that shows how Bob imagines Erroll got into the snack pack. Unfortunately, the lighthearted conclusion showing the boy with a box of Chewy Crunchy Monkey Munchy cereal implies a final joke that may only be considered clever and funny during the initial reading.
