Once again my love of squirrels brought me another gem. This was a quirky and fun book with lots of tidbits to love. Like squirrels are great at math. And Old Man Fookwire is so old he sneezes dust. It's gems like this that made me love this book a bunch.

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.
