The Squirrel Bus, a friendly smiling squirrel-shaped school bus with a large fluffy tail, parked at Acorn Grove while Mr. Whiskers waves from the driver's seat and students board.

Stories Built on Trust

Every Squirrel Bus story follows the same promise, so parents know what kind of story they are bringing home.

Safety First, Always

Mr. Whiskers is the permanent driver, and every story models calm adult guidance children can count on.

Wonder Without Worry

Stories begin with a familiar routine, meet a small age-appropriate challenge and end with hope.

Kindness in the Details

Hazel listens. Pip cheers. Oliver prepares. Nutmeg creates. Everyone belongs on the bus.

Theme Song

All Aboard the Squirrel Bus!

“All Aboard the Squirrel Bus” is the official Squirrel Bus Studio theme song and the studio's first recording. Play it in the car, at bedtime or on the way out the door. Press play when you are ready. Nothing starts automatically.
