Bird & Squirrel on the Edge! (Bird & Squirrel #3)

A brightly medley of friendship, problem-solving, and identity ideal for emerging readers looking for the next step up from leveled readers.

Gr 1-4--The further adventures of unlikely friends Bird and Squirrel as they continue to get caught up in mishaps. Fans of the first two titles in this graphic novel series will not be disappointed with the shenanigans that the two companions find themselves involved in as they cross the Great Mountains. The rescue of a baby bear, a pursuit by wolves, and a case of amnesia are just some of what happens this time around. Burks continues to prove a wonderful storyteller with his vivid artwork, which will engage the most reluctant of readers. VERDICT Best suited for elementary grade students and struggling readers, this title is a must-own for graphic novel collections.--John Trischitti, Midland County Public Libraries, TX
