Johanna Hurwitz is the author of Pee-Wee's Tale, which is the first in the Park Pals Adventure series. This is a short book, appropriate for third- or fourth-graders. Pee-Wee is a guinea pig whose mother used the torn-up newspaper in the bottom of their cage to teach him how to read. Pee-Wee is adopted as a pet but later abandoned in a public park.
He misses the boy who owned him but quickly makes friends with a squirrel named Lexi, who helps Pee-Wee find food and shelter. Pee-Wee's reading skill helps him help his new friends, and the story has a happy ending.
The other two books in the series are Lexi's Tale and Pee-Wee and Plush. This is a charming little series for kids who don't want anything too long and who like books with animal main characters.
