Those Darn Squirrels Fly South

Super cute, funny, and entertaining. Bought all the books in the series. Daughter really enjoys them (7) as I do myself.

Got this series after Dragons Live Tacos. Kids love these books!

This book series is so much fun fun. The kids love it.!

I just love this series. I enjoy reading this to my kiddo perhaps more than they do. Squirrels being fuzzy little genius is now a common phrase on our household. The prose, illustrations, and the general format are just great! I highly recommend it - get the other ones, too! Might be a bit too difficult for young readers, but I think it encourages them to read on their own too.

Two sets of grandkids love the darn squirrel books. They’re funny without being gross, as so many humorous children’s books are these days. Former teacher here, I can recommend these books.

The squirrels in Old Man Fookwire's yard get curious about where the birds go and what they do when they fly south for the winter. So, these furry little geniuses create their own flying devices so they can follow. Old Man Fookwire, lonely without his annoying friends, drives down to join the party.Laugh-out-loud text and whimsical drawings make this a fun one to share with children. I read this to several different classes (K, 1, and 2). They all loved it.

I think we enjoyed this one more than the original adventure. The birds fly south for the winter and the squirrels decide to follow suite to see what all the fuss is about. Old Man Fookwire gets a call from the squirrels and drives down to the beach to paint some wonderful pictures of the exotic birds. Old Man Fookwire then heads home to the cold winter - the squirrels drive the car on the way back. My 9 year old and 3 year old enjoy listening to the story. The illustrations are fun and add a lot to the storyline. I would highly recommend this little gem!! Happy reading!

Old Man Fookwire and those "fuzzy little geniuses" (the squirrels) appeared at our house in the form of a library book, and got read and renewed so many times that we had to buy our own copy of the book. This book is responsible for teaching my children what a zeppelin is, inspiring them to ask about mangoes and the merengue, teaching them that 12 miles an hour is not a popular driving speed, and prompting them to try cottage cheese with pepper (once). They love the writing style so much that I have overheard them trying to tell each other stories long after bedtime in the style of "the Old Man Fookwire book." It's still fun on my 50th+ read, and one son is beginning to recite it word-for-word (which makes me happy because the book offers such a rich vocabulary, plus some imaginative created words...).

The series of Those Darn Squirrels! is a delight! The newest installment in Those Darn Squirrels Fly South is no exception.

The eight and nine year olds I work with love the squirrel stories and I enjoy reading them. Who knew squirrels were genius's.

Love this book

These two Author and Illustrator are amazing!

Grandkids love these books.
