Bannertail: The Story of Gray Squirrel

Soon after birth a young squirrel gets caught by a boy and is taken to a farm. Boy then tries to feed him to their pet cat. However, the cat feels sorry for the squirrel and adopts him as her own child and names the squirrel Banner. Banner and cat lived happily in the farm, but their happy days don't last long. A fire destroys the farm, and Banner is separated from his mother cat.

Living in the forest is very strange and difficult for a young orphaned squirrel raised by a kindly mother cat. Owl is the first denizen of the forest who Banner encounters. Initially he intends to eat him, but Banner, thinking himself a cat, fights back rather than flee, earning owl's respect and eventually his friendship. Later he meets other squirrels living in forest, However he got little support from them. Hunger leads him to the lake, because the only food that he knows himself to provide is fish. His strange actions attracted attention of young and beautiful squirrel Flappy and she decides to help him.

Banner decides to stay in the forest. Now he must find himself a house. When finally found, he arranged an opening party for all his friends, and of course, Owl is invited. But the other squirrels flee in terror when they see Owl. The wise bird, by an act of courage, decides to return next to Banner after what happened. Banner feels very alone even with his new house.

Banner just came to the forest and has no idea that he should pick up supplies for the winter. Instead he has fun walking through the trees where he meets many animals, including two mischievous mice, that seem very appetizing to him. Fact, that he tried to eat mice is so funny, that they can't stop laughing. But that's not all. Banner is suspected of stealing supplies for the winter from another squirrel Acacio. Banner investigates this case and manages to discover who the real thief is.

Banner has alienated everyone and is alone again. He also has to face a new danger, a weasel. Banner does not know how to fly from tree to tree so narrowly escaped death thanks to his friend Owl. After this experience, Banner starts to hate life in the forest. But then Flappy cares about Banner again and teaches him everything, even how to fly.

Banner can not go home, because now the weasel knows where he lives. Flappy allowed him to stay at her home until he can find himself a new home. Meanwhile, Flappy lives with her grandfather.
