Synopsis
From the bestselling creators of Dragons Love Tacos comes the story of what happens when a grumpy old man and some mischievous squirrels match wits--with hilarious results. Little ones and grown-ups will giggle through multiple reads of Those Darn Squirrels!
Old Man Fookwire is a grump. The only thing he likes to do is paint pictures of the birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely.
So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful bird feeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates--until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that completely charms the old grump.
The three funny picture books in this series from Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri:

Those Darn Squirrels and the Cat Next Door
