Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Slicko, the Jumping Squirrel: Her Many Adventures" by Richard Barnum is a children's fiction book written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Slicko, a little gray squirrel who learns to jump and faces various challenges in the woods, especially when she encounters dangers such as hunters and their dogs. As she navigates her adventures, she meets other animals like Squinty the pig and Tum Tum the elephant, all while learning valuable lessons about survival and friendship. The opening of the book introduces readers to the squirrel family living in a tree, focusing on Slicko, the curious and brave girl squirrel. After her mother sees a hunter nearby, the family teaches their children how to jump for safety. Slicko's initial lessons in jumping set the stage for her adventures, including a meeting with Squinty the pig while searching for food. The narrative captures the excitement of a young animal learning to thrive in a complex world, filled with both friends and potential threats. Throughout this opening portion, themes of courage and self-reliance are established as key elements of Slicko's character development.
