To whom it may concern, KA has resided at XXXX since January 1, 2001 during which time she has dutifully paid rent in monthly installments and been a model tenant. Thats the boring, dry letter of reference I could provide. But I like the following better. KA makes great tacos. …
Old Man Fookwire is a grump who only likes to paint pictures of 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 charms the old grump.
My take: How can you not like a book where you get to say Googlie Mooglie, raise your fist and yell “Those darned squirrels”?
