Elliot's Park # 3: Walnut Cup
by Patrick CarmanThe Walnut Cup, the only American stop on the World Squirrel Soccer League tour, is taking place in Elliot's park this year! Teams are arriving from around the globe and excitement's running high. But when nut-crazy Pistachio steals the game ball (a perfectly round walnut), it's up to Elliot and the rest of the gang to get it back. Only trouble is, Pistachio is hiding out on an island in the middle of the pond and Wilma the goose has got her eye on the ball.

Elliot's Park Book 1: Saving Mister Nibbles
by Patrick CarmanMister Nibbles has been captured and taken to the yellow house across the street from Elliot?s park! Squirrels aren't meant to live indoors (not even stuffed ones like Mister Nibbles), so Elliot and his friends come up with a plan to rescue their new friend. It?s going to take a lot of teamwork. Can Elliot, Crash, Chip, and Twitch save Mister Nibbles before it?s too late?
Meet Elliot and all his friends!
Elliot is a very smart squirrel who loves to solve any problem he finds.
His best friend Chip is a hilarious klutz. He's gotten into some interesting scrapes and trouble, including a celebrated encounter with the monkey bars in which one of his two abnormally large front teeth was broken.
Crash is the only flying squirrel in the park. She's just visiting from England, but it doesn't look like she's leaving any time soon!
Then there's Twitch, Elliot's sister. She's good at finding things, especially her favorite sugary drink -- soda pop.
Mister Nibbles is no ordinary squirrel! He's quiet and thoughtful and says the funniest things. What Elliot and his friends don't know is that Mister Nibbles is actually a stuffed squirrel.
