If you think having a superhero squirrel as a pet sounds like a hilarious story (Flora & Ulysses), well what about a boy named Bat that wants a pet baby skunk? The oddities of these house guests makes for the perfect pairing of stories. A great story about being different and looking at the good in everything, not just the bad traits. A chapter book perfect for elementary school aged children learning about autism.

A read-alike with a heart of gold. Befriending an elephant would seem ridiculous to some, but not when they are the only one that can save your life. Another superb story that showcases the bond between humans and animals. An unlikely pair of characters that work together and realize their strength is unstoppable.

When it comes to animal adventures there’s no better best-loved children’s classic author than Beatrix Potter. The similarities are abundant as both books have humorous main squirrel main characters who have silly adventures with others and use their cleverness or cheekiness to aid them in getting out of trouble.
