Those Darn Squirrels!

This uproariously funny picture book introduces Old Man Fookwire, a curmudgeonly bird-lover who finds himself in an escalating war with a determined group of squirrels. His elaborate bird feeders become targets for the crafty rodents, who employ increasingly inventive methods to get their paws on the seeds. The story is a delightful romp about persistence, problem-solving, and the unexpected joys of connection, even with those you initially deem 'darn squirrels.' It's perfect for sparking conversations about sharing, changing perspectives, and the humor in everyday frustrations.

When grumpy Old Man Fookwire builds feeders to try to keep birds--the only creatures he likes--from leaving for the winter, he finds himself in a battle with clever, crafty squirrels who want a share of the abundant food.
