Those Darn Squirrels Fly South Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Those darn squirrels are at it again--this time wreaking havoc in a tropical location! Old Man Fookwire's birds migrate south for the winter, and the squirrels decide to follow. They devise an ingenious plan to fly to a warm and beautiful beach with many new plants to snack on and many new birds to see. Though he would never admit it, Old Man Fookwire misses his furry friends. He joins them down south, paints the local birds, and succumbs to sunburn—so the squirrels have to drive his car back home. The award-winning team behind Those Darn Squirrels! and Those Darn Squirrels and the Cat Next Door will delight young readers their parents alike with this hilarious and imaginative third installment.

Our five year old granddaughter has decided that Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri are her favorite author and illustrator. She has learned bigger concepts that just turning the pages and she is fascinated by how these two guys could write such a charming yet silly and attractive book. Their books are very unique. We love the nonsensical elements that tie the story together so well. These two have produced a winning combination in book production. We will probably buy everything they publish. It is simply an adorable book and somehow they have captured the right way to enthrall and teach and "tickle" a child's fancy. Because it is so fanciful, our granddaughter loves to learn new "sight words" on her own with it. Now that is a talent to prompt a child to excel in levels of learning!
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!
I bought the first book for my three year old granddaughter(and her dad) who lived in the mountains and had several bird feeders in theiryard and had trouble keeping the squirrels out. When she got the book she really laughed at the squirrels' antics. So,I naturally got ...and the cat next door and ...fly south. You should see her shake her fist and say, "those darn squirrels". Now her 22 months old sister tries to do it too. Fun for our whole family.
Iactually love this book as much or more than my daughter. When I've had a hard day, she brings it to me at bed time as a gift :) It's a very cute tale about a grumpy but kind old man and his bird and squirrel friends. It's well writte and illustrated and heart-warming. Great book.
Our kids love this book! I tell the story in funny voices and the kids repeat parts of it. We also have the original "Those darn squirrels". I wish "Those darn squirrels and the cat next door" would go on sale or was available in softcover or used. The kids keep asking for it.
Adam Rubin and Daniel Salieri are such a great team- their books are fun and really cute and witty. This continues the adventures of Old Man Fookwire and his birds and squirrels. Really fun and cute!
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 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.
