Those Darn Squirrels and the Cat Next Door

By Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri

From the creators of Dragons Love Tacos comes the second laugh-out-loud story about Old Man Fookwire and the those darn squirrels! 

All is calm in old man Fookwire’s yard until new neighbors—Little Old Lady Hu and her cat, Muffins—move in next door. Muffins is one mean dude! He terrorizes the birds, interrupts Fookwire’s painting, and ties the squirrels’ tails together. Fookwire is upset, but not nearly as upset as the squirrels, who devise an ingenious plan to stop Muffins cold. In this hilarious follow-up to Those Darn Squirrels!, the tongue-in-cheek text is perfectly complemented by the quirky, inventive illustrations.

Reviews for Those Darn Squirrels and the Cat Next Door

[kradish-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

In this sequel to "Those Darn Squirrels." the squirrels are not converting a grump, they are taming a bully cat. Funny and full of pluck.

More adventures with those squirrels again. This is a book that is entertaining to adults as well as children. Really all of Adam Rubin's books are. I would read this to children who are in pre-k through 3rd grade, but I would share this book with anyone.

A fun return to Old Man Fookwire's world. Maybe not as endearing as the first book, but lots of fun and will cause giggles.
