Illustrated by Lynne Cherry

Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Harriet is another intrepid female - a squirrel - with a taste for adventure and space travel. Her twin brother prefers to stay at home and cultivate his garden. Meanwhile out in space Harriet discovers the TERRIBLE CREATURE chewing up rocks and spitting them out and weeping because he's destroyed all the flowers and trees. William's ecological soul is touched at the story and he returns with Harriet to help make the planet bloom again. A pleasantly moral tale with luscious pictures in which the squirrels appear in scale amidst tomatoes, sweet william, tulips and...monsters.
