Have you ever wanted to visit a new place? Robert is a curious and intelligent little squirrel who likes to sit in a big filbert tree and read the bumper stickers on cars that drive past. One day he reads of a toy museum in Atlanta, Georgia, and remembers that his uncle, Ralph Q. Squirrel, lives there. Being a bit impulsive, he decides to set off on an adventure to see his uncle and meet his uncles new wife and children. But Atlanta is a far journey from his hometown of Milwaukie, Oregon, and since he isnt a flying squirrel, Robert will have to find another way to travel. Will Robert find his way to Atlanta by hitchhiking on trucks and cars? And even if he finds Atlanta, will he be able to locate his uncles family? The Squirrel Who Hitchhiked to Atlanta tells the delightful tale of this brave little squirrel and the adventures he finds among his travels.
