Those Darn Squirrels and the Cat Next Door

Adam Rubin

From the bestselling creators of Dragons Love Tacos comes the second laugh-out-loud story about Old Man Fookwire and 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.

The three funny picture books in this series from Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri:

Praise for this book

"Rubin's sly ironies and Salmieri's spare but deeply goofy aesthetic is child-friendly urbanity at its best. And those squirrels! Impish, beady-eyed, and never individuated, they steal the spotlight in every scene." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
