Dogs chase squirrels. It's just a fact of life...or is it? One afternoon, Scrapper digs up a huge pile of acorns in the middle of the forest. Turns out, he's accidentally uncovered the forest squirrels' secret snack stash, and they're not too happy about it! Can Scrapper make it up to them, or are dogs and squirrels destined to feud forever?

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Scrapper chapter book series is perfect for emerging readers.

Now Cam has a pup of her own, who is very mischievous, and she still loves writing about animals. Cam lives in New York City with her two children, her husband, and Laila the dog.
