Meet Friendly, Bentley, Lance, Muddy Paw and friends in the first book of The Friendly Show! series The trees are under threat, including the Leylandii where Friendly, the best architect in the land, has built their home.

Bentley doesn't want a big family and is worried that outside squirrels will come in and take over the drey and food supply, so makes up a story about a squirrel eating monster which goes viral amongst the squirrels in the neighbourhood. However it soon backfires awkwardly!
Bentley has a run in with the wicked witch Narkissa, who casts a spell and fortunately the Black and White Cat knows all the secrets of the plants and can reverse the spell! Bentley becomes upset after reading The Story of The Lost Squirrel in The Book of the Ancestors, and Muddy Paw is good at reassuring that the stories in the book happened in the past and not the future.
Friendly is furious when Big Alpawso raids The Pantry and steals all the nuts. They have a fight and Big Alpawso pushes Friendly out of the tree! As luck would have it, there is a cure for Friendly's concussion right there in the Abundant Garden and Friendly gets more than he has bargained for! Friendly thought he kept his fear of heights a secret from all the other squirrels, but they all knew all along.
Bentley's big surprise is a shocker to everyone! In The Friendly Show! series, the sceptical squirrels in the Abundant Garden are on a fairy tale adventure to uncover truths, mysteries and secrets about their environment and their relationship with humans and themselves.
