Those Darn Squirrels! -- Adam Rubin

<p><i>From the creators of Dragons Love Tacos comes the story of what happens when a grumpy old man and some mischievous squirrels match wits--with hilarious results. </i> <p/> Old Man Fookwire is a grump. The only thing he likes to do is paint pictures of the birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely. So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful birdfeeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates--until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that completely charms the old grump.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Adam Rubin<br><b>Publisher:</b> Clarion Books<br><b>Published:</b> 09/08/2008<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.90lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 10.10h x 10.20w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780547007038<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 3.7<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>124444 / Those Darn Squirrels!<br><br><b>Award:</b> Ladybug Picture Book Award - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> Buckaroo Book Award - Nominee<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Kirkus Review - Children</i> 08/15/2008 pg. 893<br><i>School Library Journal</i> 10/01/2008 pg. 121<br><i>Hornbook Guide t
