Bird just wanted to have fun! It was a beautiful day for
just whizzing through the air in the sunshine. What could
be better? Yes, a playmate and Bird spies one hiding in an
old log. Hey, Squirrel! What are you hiding from? Let's
go flying!
Poor squirrel! He is just too nervous to hang out. He
has too much work to do and he wants to top up his last
acorns in his hidden cache before that scary cat comes
out. Look at that bird! Oh no, look out!!!!
While flying his loops in the sky, Bird sees something
sparkling in the grass and goes to investigate. But, while
Bird is busy looking, Cat, their arch enemy has crept up
behind him. Bird might be pesky but Squirrel knows he has
to do the right thing. What can he do to save his friend?

creating amazing and richly colourful graphic books and his
talent and bright illustrations will just pull the reader
right into this highly unusual and hilariously funny
journey! The storyline takes lots of flights of fancy and
dangerous turns yet shows how resiliency, imagination and
friendship can help the unlikely pair do awesome things!
Kids will love the grub for supper idea and the highly
inventive ways these two mismatched friends strive to keep
the wicked Cat from getting his paws on them. Full of puns
and teasing, BIRD & SQUIRREL ON THE RUN is sure to be a hit

resource for kids of all ages who read to younger children
or are learning English as a second language! This is one
wild and trilling road trip you don't want to miss! Have
fun!
Bird and Squirrel outwit Cat and become best friends in this

Of course, he'll have to catch them first, and that's not
going to be easy.
Join this trio as they head south for the winter in a
hilarious road trip. But watch out! Cat is waiting around
every bend, and he's one pesky feline.
