Don't Let the Squirrel Run the School! is a humorous picture book for young readers that explores leadership, responsibility, and the importance of structure in a playful and age-appropriate way.
When Principal Parker steps out of the classroom for just one minute, an enthusiastic squirrel named Mr. Pippin sees an opportunity to take charge. At first, his ideas sound exciting-unlimited recess, easy grades, and rule-free days-but the students quickly realize that running a school takes more than good intentions. As Mr. Pippin's decisions spiral into chaos, the children learn why rules exist and why thoughtful leadership matters.
Told through expressive illustrations and simple dialogue, the story invites children to think critically about fairness, consequences, and the difference between fun choices and responsible ones. The tone is lighthearted and comedic, with visual humor that encourages engagement and discussion between children and adults.
Designed for preschool and early elementary readers, Don't Let the Squirrel Run the School! works well as a read-aloud and as an early independent reading experience. Educators and parents can also use the story as a conversation starter about classroom behavior, decision-making, and teamwork.
This book is the first title in The Mr. Pippin Series, which follows the mischievous squirrel as he attempts to take on roles he may not be ready for-often with entertaining and instructive results.
