Aline brought Hazel by the office today and one of our colleagues gave Hazel a little foam pig throwaway toy to play with. On our way home that evening, we realize she’s being awfully quiet in the back seat so we look over. Poor pig. Three legs and its nose were gnawed off. That kid sure loves ham.

- Those Darned Squirrels
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”?
