Book Description

July 2004 4 and up P and up
Miss Suzy is a little gray squirrel who lives happily in her oak-tree home until she is chased away by some mean red squirrels. Poor Miss Suzy is very sad. But soon she finds a beautiful dollhouse and meets a band of brave toy soldiers.

How Miss Suzy and the soldiers help each other makes a gentle, old-fashioned tale that has captured the imaginations of girls and boys alike for forty years. Arnold Lobel's enchanting pictures are sure to make the kind squirrel and the gallant soldiers the everlasting friends of all who turn these pages.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Miss Suzy, a squirrel, is routed from her idyllic treetop home by a bunch of ruffian squirrels; moves into an attic dollhouse; welcomes and mothers some abandoned toy soldiers; and then regains her first, beloved home with the soldiers' help. The book's appeal is in the coziness of the homes gentle Miss Suzy creates and in Lobel's expressive crosshatch illustrations. (Copyright 2005 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.) --Hornbook Guide, 2005

Miss Suzy: 40th Anniversary Edition by Miriam Young, illus. by Arnold Lobel, celebrates this tale's reissue. Miss Suzy, a gray squirrel, lives "in the tip, tip, top of a tall oak tree"-until a throng of mean red squirrels displaces her. She retreats to a dollhouse and meets some toy soldiers who help her reclaim her house. Lobel's pen-and-ink drawings with a burgundy wash alternate with full-color pictures in hues bold and rich or delicate and ethereal.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Fan,
September 9, 2004

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Miss Suzy (Hardcover)
I read the raving reviews of this book and curiosity got the best of me. Our library did not have a copy so I had to buy it to see why every reviewer gave 5 stars! It is a nice book that is actually well written and a delight to read. I knew nothing of this book until I bought it, but I think 30 years from now this will be one of the books that my daughter looks back on fondly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miss Suzy where are you?,

Andrew B. Laidlaw (Kirkland, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Suzy (Library Binding)
Although itÕs been almost 30 some years since I have seen a copy of this book itÕs still burned into my mind. Miss Suzy is a wonderful story of a Squirrel almost bullied from her treehouse. She recruits the help of some toy soldiers long packed away in the attic. Miss Suzy is a great children's book! This was the book I lived in as a child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five PLUS stars!,
November 24, 2005
By 
This review is from: Miss Suzy (Hardcover)
This was my very favorite book as a small child, and I love sharing it with my daughter now! I was three when I discovered Miss Suzy in preschool. Our teacher let a different child pick a book for the class each day, and every time it was my turn, I wanted her to read "Miss Suzy"! I still have two copies from my childhood, but I was thrilled when the anniversary edition was released, and I could buy a new copy (plus two backups, just in case!) for my daughter! The illustrations are captivating, and the story of kindness and helping others hits home with kids. And Miriam Young makes this lesson interesting for children by incorporating toy soldiers, a dollhouse with a four poster bed and squirrels, among other things that children find fascinating. What a wonderful book, and what joy I find in reading it to my child! This book, in my opinion, is a book all children (especially little girls!) should read!
