Squirrelly Squirrels by Monica Barrois
Review by Chris Singer
About the author:
Monica Barrois became inspired to write a children’s book after spending so much time reading and re-reading her grandson’s favorite book to him. Squirrelly Squirrels is her first published children’s book.
About the book:
Come along on a delightful and surprising journey guaranteed to make you smile and perhaps giggle. Be amazed at the antics of some backyard squirrels who attempt to outsmart a little boy and his grandpa. Discover how the story ends, or if it ends after all?
My take on the book:
This book was a lovely surprise. One of my favorite things about being a father is watching my daughter take in all the wonders in the world. It’s like reliving your childhood all over again.
In this story, the play and adventures of the squirrels are captured and seen through the eyes of a child. The illustrations are really well done and their colorful and playful depictions of the squirrels add so much to the story.
Barrois has some suggested activities included at the end of the book to help enhance reader’s storytelling experience.
This is an excellent first effort worthy of a spot on your bookshelf.
I have a few squirrelly squirrels in my backyard! We put out a few peanuts the other day on our deck. Now they come right up to the window begging for more. It kinda creeps me out just like the part in the new Willy Wonka movie with Veruca Salt. Yikes!
Nice review, Chris!
Squirrelly Squirrels is like that greeting card that makes you laugh out loud and you know it’s a keeper.
