Welcome to Critter City, where squirrels, hamsters, and other fuzzy friends have started a town of their own. There's just one problem: it's complete chaos! Traffic is bananas, trash is piling up, nobody follows the rules, and every day brings a brand-new disaster.
Enter the new squirrel in town, Gertie. Instead of seeing problems, she sees challenges waiting for a solution. With creative ideas, Gertie helps her fellow crittizens transform their confusion into cooperation, and they build a happy community one paw at a time!
Packed with civics themes, silly jokes, and kid favorites like fire trucks, construction vehicles, libraries, and community helpers, every day is an adventure in Critter City. No problem is too big, too small, or too fuzzy to overcome when you believe, "Everything works when we all work together!"
