When something supremely silly is needed for storytime: choose Erroll. Or as Erroll himself might say: “Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!” And then he’d turn a somersault, swing from the drapes, and get peanut butter all over everything.
For kids who like high-energy shenanigans, and for grown-ups who’d like to almost prove the point that a neat-and-tidy suburban home may not be the best place for a very wild critter, this fun and funny story of a boy who finds a talking squirrel in his snack package will be just the ticket.

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.
