I’ve only written one series of first chapter books, and it was a ton of fun. For the uninitiated, Elliot’s Park is about one very smart squirrel and all of his friends (also squirrels). There are 5 things I’d like to point parents, teachers, and librarians to, all of which really bring the series to life. If you’re looking to introduce a young reader to a big park full of adventure, these links will get you started.

Visit the park

The setting for Elliot’s Park is an exact replica of the biggest park in Walla Walla, Washington, my home town. Elliot will take you on a guided tour of the real park, a great way to engage young readers before diving into the first book.

Meet the characters

Check out this link to see what each character looks like and listen to them introduce themselves.

Listen to the first chapter

The first chapter of Saving Mr. Nibbles has been made into a dramatization with sound effects and voices that will get even the most reluctant reader ready to read.

Read The Books

There are three books in the series, all of them available in paperback from your nearest bookseller (or online at the usual places).

Put on a play

Now that you’re an Elliot’s Park expert, you’re ready to put on your own Elliot’s Park play! Our team at PC Studio has created a one of a kind Elliot’s Park play you can put on with as few as four or five friends or as a classroom production. Learn the Elliot’s Park theme song using the karaoke song tool, add cool sound effects to your production with the sound console, and make your own simple costumers (we’re talking super basic).

I hope you enjoy reading and sharing Elliot’s Park as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it!
