KISS THE BOOK

Rubin, Adam, Those Darn Squirrels. Clarion Books. 2008. When Old Man Fookwire builds bird feeders in order to keep the birds he likes to paint from leaving for the winter. Some pesky, clever squirrels, however, are determined to steal Fookwire’s seeds for themselves. Will Old Man Fookwire find a way to keep his birds from leaving for the winter or will those pesky squirrels ruin his plans? Will the squirrels and Fookwire find a way to get along? The book is a little cheesy, but the story is humorous and entertaining picture book. A great read aloud for storytime and bedtime stories as well as for early elementary teachers. PreK/EL (PreK-1). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira, Youth Services Librarian, HUN Public Library
