Cranky Mr. Fookwire is abandoned for a sunnier climate by both the birds he likes to paint and the squirrels he likes to shake his fist at. But the squirrels invite him south, and he soon joins in the fun, as does the reader. Pure entertainment that can be read over and over." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

K-Gr 2-Those darn squirrels are at it again, and this time they're headed for warmer weather, aided by their "comprehensive understanding of aerodynamic engineering." In their third appearance, grumpy Old Man Fookwire is still painting pictures of his beloved birds and shaking his fist at squirrel shenanigans. But, instead of the baba, yaba, and floogle birds flying south alone, the squirrels tag along to see what all the fuss is about. When he receives a collect call from the squirrels turned beach bums, Fookwire's loneliness gets the better of him and he dusts off the red 1957 convertible he's kept hiding in a shed. After reuniting with his bird friends, sunburning his giant schnoz, and painting to his grumpy heart's content, he and the squirrels road trip it back together. Salmieri's characteristic sketches stretch every scene to humorous proportion, making the most of Rubin's quirky story line and eccentric vocabulary. As Fookwire would say, "Great googley-moogley," this story doesn't disappoint.-Jenna Boles, Washington-Centerville Public Library, OHα(c) Copyright 2011.
