About the first story...

In the first story, readers meet Sammy Squirrel and Rodney Raccoon who live a happy life in Vancouver's Stanley Park, but are terribly curious about the outside world. Sammy and Rodney set off on an adventure beyond the outskirts of the park and find themselves adrift at sea in a little boat. Much to their surprise after weeks at sea, the two friends end up in Japan. They meet many new friends during the journey - Salty Seagull, Winnifred Whale and a deer called Shika to name a few - and they visit a big beautiful park in the ancient city of Nara, Japan where they help resolve a crisis before crossing the ocean to return to Stanley Park. Do you need a gift for someone who enjoys a classic adventure story? "Sammy Squirrel & Rodney Raccoon - a Stanley Park tale" just might be the book they'll cherish forever. (Chapter book - 106 pages)
