A great book if you have a little one that has squirrelmania. Also, kudos to the author for featuring irreverent and tasty types of snacks in the story.

Well I loved this quirky book but that is because my dad is exactly like the guy in the story - committed to outwit the squirrels that steal the birdseed in the feeders. Lobed thinking of the squirrels as the cunning little engineers they are! Very Fu. Fall read.
