Bobby Bushtail as you see has a happy family and every morn at half past nine he'd brush their tails until they shine.
This was a Ladybird book we had as children in the late forties and early fifties.
I have never seen this particular book since.

Thanks Pixie, one would assume this was the one but I see it is a new edition edition printed in 1972. I believe the rhyme inside is different and the one I remember was Bobbie Bushtail and not Bob. So maybe the author revised and rewrote it at some point. I would still like to trace the original rhyme though.

“This early Ladybird story is one I remember from childhood. It's the story of a family of squirrels - Bob gets lost in the snow, and is found curled up fast asleep in a hollow tree. The picture of Bob in the tree looking sadly out at the snowflakes is one I remember well”.//

Seems it always was Bob.

Thanks everyone. Mamyalynne's link led me to the book cover I remember dated from 1941. However these now range in price from around £18 to £140, Yes I did say £140! I still have not been able to "open" one of these to reread the actual verse as in the early version. The subsequent one with the snowflakes on the cover is a different verse.
