Have a terrific week!
To celebrate my birthday today, I am sharing a new picture book with you and giving my followers a copy of my latest resource as a thank you for reading my blog.
I previously blogged about Scaredy Squirrel - you can read that blog post here. Since then, I have been collecting other squirrel titles and one of my favourites is "Those Darn Squirrels!" by Adam Rubin.
We don't have squirrels in Australia, so I find them fascinating. This title reminds me a lot of "Creepy Carrots." You can read my blog post about that title (and pick up a freebie) here.
Those Darn Squirrels is hilarious and great for problem/solution. You can view a YouTube reading of it here and the book trailer here.
There are some wonderful clips about squirrels on the Help Readers Love Reading blog here - I laughed out loud at the squirrels dancing to Michael Jackson :) A squirrel flash mob! The squirrel obstacle course is pretty awesome and amazing too! Impressive!
There's also an information fact sheet with the same title that could be used to pair the narrative with non-fiction. Aileen from Mrs Miracle's Music Room has also paired the picture book with a song about squirrels.
Apparently there are three titles in this series (how exciting). I have only read this first one. Have you read the others? You can read about the other titles here. I made up a resource to go with the picture book (click on the preview below or here to find out more).
To celebrate my birthday today, I will send a free copy of this resource to those readers who follow my blog who leave a comment below with their email address. My birthday was on 18 October, so this freebie offer is only for people who are followers of my blog and only over the next couple of days.
Please follow my blog (using the links in the right hand comment) to accept this giveaway.
Let me know in the comments if you do know the titles in this series and how you have used them :) I would also like to know more about squirrels - are they considered pests? Do you have squirrels where you live? I would love it if you could let me know more about them...
Many thanks
Have a terrific week :)
