Sammy spotted a button on the floor. As he bent over to pick it up, he heard a loud ripping sound. "Oh no!"
During a successful career in the construction industry that spanned over 25 years, Judith bought a small holding. This led her down the pathway of animal rescue. Her love of animals and being surrounded by nature inspired her to write a series of children's stories.

  • Lesley Hull

    Bought this book for a Christmas present for my granddaughters aged 7 and 5 months. At the moment my 7-year-old granddaughter reads it to my younger granddaughter. The 7-year-old lo es it and I am sure my young granddaughter will too

  • Mrs Field

    A book bought for my young grandchildren, who both loved it! The elder one is just reading on her own and has read it out to anyone who will listen.
    A lovely amusing story, beautifully illustrated perfectly for young children. I would recommend this book.

  • Steve Owen

    I bought this for my grand daughter who is just about at the age where she can read it by herself with a little assistance. She loved the artwork and found the story hilarious.
    She has asked if there are going to be any more episodes so I need to keep an eye on any further works.
    Very well written book and would highly recommend it.

  • Jill blower

    I bought this book for my friends 3 year old little girl & she loved it, the illustrations are so good also, the story just long enough for a child & can’t wait for her next book.

  • Linda Wesbroom

    I bought this book for my 3-year-old granddaughter even though she has yet to learn to read. I knew she would enjoy listening to the story and looking at the beautiful illustrations and I was right. This book will I’m sure to become a favourite on her bookshelf and she will get immense pleasure from being able to read it for herself. In the meantime, it’s a book she has chosen time and again to have read to her.

  • Jacquie Wallace

    Bought this book for my grandson. He absolutely loves it. Great illustrations and a lovely story. Can’t wait for the next one.

  • Lorraine Hidderley

    This is a great book for all young children who enjoy fun stories about animals and friendship. The illustrations are brilliant and can't wait for the next one to come out

  • Holly Martin

    The squirrel who split his trousers - a funny and charming book that I purchased as a gift for my Godson. He loves the beautiful illustrations that bring the story to life and we are looking forward to the (hopefully!) next to one.

  • Paul McGovern

    What a brilliant book for reading to children and grandchildren until they learn to read themselves. A great message in the story to help kids grow into responsible human beings. Beautifully illustrated and my grandkids love it! Looking forward to more from this brilliant young author. Keep up the great work!

  • Pauline weeks

    A wonderfully brilliant book for young children. Sad and so funny at the same time. Very clever!!

  • Don Haldenby

    We purchased this book for two of our grand children and they absolutely love the pictures and the story being read to them.
    A truly wonderful children's book.

  • Margaret Heming

    I bought this book for my 4 year old great granddaughter, mainly because Judith was a school friend of my daughter. Well, what a hit it was with Hollie, she absolutely loves it, but her mum is getting a bit tired of the story now. She can't shorten it because Hollie knows it word for word now and laughs in the same places each time.

  • andrew gretton

    Having purchased this book for our Grandson Zac I thought I would love to post a review. The book is a delight and has helped in providing education in the form of reading to Zac, but also immense enjoyment.
    Stories from nature are so topical and essential for the next generation, and to discuss early on the protection of our world including squirrels is wonderful. Judith must be a real nature lover and understands the natural world. this is a brilliant book, hopefully more to come from the same author Andy Gretton

  • E Makepeace

    It's a while since I looked at a child's book and I was delighted to read this one, a lovely little story nicely illustrated. I would recommend this book.

  • J Bartram

    Loved this book nicely illustrated would definitely recommend.

  • Julie Boyd

    I purchased two copies of this book for my grandsons as easter gifts. They both thoroughly enjoyed the story and cannot wait for the next one.

  • Liz

    I purchased this as an Easter present for my granddaughter, due to covid19 I had to post it, my granddaughter and I have read it together using FaceTime, we both love it, the pictures are fun. I look forward to the next book, as I’m sure we will enjoy it just as much, hopefully we’ll be able to sit together to read the next one.

  • Katie Hayward

    This is such a lovely book with beautiful illustrations. I bought a copy for my 4-year-old niece and she absolutely loves it. Sammy the squirrel has become a firm bedtime favourite!

  • K Baker

    Fabulous book, enjoyed by both my 3 and 6-year-old and me too!

  • Jane Bullock

    I absolutely loved reading this book to my children, they were so engaged in the story. They laughed and chuckled all the way through the book. The illustrations are both funny & very educational too in so far as explaining emotions with those facial expressions.
    Great book fantastic story, which comes alive, thoroughly enjoyed reading it again and again and again ...Is there going to be another I can’t wait?

  • George Rae

    A wonderful book for children. I bought this book for my nephew and he absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend this book. The illustrations are fantastic and there is a moral behind. Are there any sequels to this?

  • Jane

    A lovely story, with a moral but lightly told with humour. My granddaughter finds it hilarious and also enjoys the illustrations especially Walter the woodpecker.

  • Mrs Williams

    This is a really lovely book with some great illustrations. My grandson loves squirrels and this one splitting his trousers made me chuckle as well. Great fun for all ages!

  • Sue

    I bought this book for my 4 year old Grandaughter. She insisted on reading it to me and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. It is beautifully illustrated too. A great buy!
