Those Darn Squirrels and the Cat Next Door by Adam Rubin & Daniel Salmieri

book jacketOld Man Fookwire has grown to tolerate the squirrels who made their debut in Those Darn Squirrels, but now he has a new enemy, Muffins, his new neighbor's cat. Muffins is mean, scaring the birds, giving the squirrels noogies, and ruins Old Man Fookwire's painting. It's up to the clever squirrels to put an end to Muffins' reign of terror.
I really liked enjoyed the subtle humor hidden in the pictures. For instance, the way Muffins has his paws steepled together reminded me of the Simpsons' Mr. Burns. Another example of the subtle humor is the lines "She thought Muffins was a cuddly honey bunny. But after the infamous poodle incident, she'd decided to to move to the forest so that her cat could make some new friends." This book is great for kids from 1 to 100.
