Mr. McGuire is a Boston terrier who lives with his family in the enchanting countryside of New England. He is generally a polite, playful, sort of chap however he’s become distressed over the long absences of his parents. This is when the wonderful adventures begin, and it is up to Albert a bluebird, Miss Pearl a pleasant reddish-gray squirrel, and a variety of other woodland friends to dream up a way to help Mr. McGuire overcome his sorrow.
More intrigue is provided by a lovable, rather rascally fox named Red and his medical dilemma. Other character adventures include the account which describes Mr. McGuire’s friendship with the amazing Catherine, who is a colorfully striped creature dressed in a tutu, and wearing sixteen ballet slippers one for each of her feet. Finally, Mr. McGuire is introduced to Daisy a timid toy poodle. The friends once again unite to help Daisy prevail.
