Wirral the Squirrel becomes homeless when his idyllic Woodland is destroyed by the evil Gretsch. He vows to find Animalia, a tropical island, where all animals live in freedom and without fear.

Bright, 3-D-quality cartoon illustrations and a fast-paced, present-tense narrative deliver an ever-timely message. Based on McCart ney’s animated film, Tropical Island Hum. mjw
