I have a copy of Squirrels by Brian Wildsmith looking at me

[conuly]

Gorgeous pictures, very factual - and it all features the red squirrel, which means it has limited use here in NYC where all our squirrels are gray.

I'd normally give it away to the school, but, again, limited use because all our squirrels are gray and, more importantly, the artwork is too pretty and I don't want them discarding it for that reason later.

So if anybody wants this book featuring red squirrels (particularly somebody British, where it's endangered due to our gray ones), offer to pay shipping and you can have it.

Likewise, I have a book on friendship with a Bible moral at the end that I don't feel I can pass off to the public school... and I don't find interesting enough to keep. It's not that great a book, and I'll probably drop it off at Trinity Lutheran soon for their preschool program, but if anybody thinks they want it (The Turtle and the Dragon) you just have to pay shipping and you can get it.

Apparently in some parts of the UK the greys are now getting challenged by New and Improved™ black squirrels.

Despite living for a year in one of the few areas of England where there are any reds left at all, I don't remember that I ever saw one. I would love to have done so.
