Miss Suzy by Miriam Young illustrated by Arnold Lobel

Missy Suzy, the squirrel, loves taking care of her house in the treetop.  Her peaceful existence, however, is disrupted when a band of red squirrels charge into her home and kick her out of the tree.  Winter is soon approaching so she frantically searches for a new home.  She finds solace in the attic of an abandoned home where she lives in a grand doll house.  In a box she discovers six toy soldiers.  She frees them from the box and has instant friends.
The soldiers are grateful for her care over the winter and repay her for her kindness.
