Review

This is great first graphic novel - bright colors, full of action, easy to read and very funny! A great choice for summer reading and the reluctant reader. Bird and Squirrel are BFF's who just arrived back home after a long trip that took them around the world. Bird really wants to party and squirrel wants to clean, but before they can do either they must convince beaver to break up his dam. If they can't do that the backed up water will put those critters who live down stream from it in great danger. There is much drama and laughs as the two friends try to save the community. A wonderful choice for the early graphic novel reader as well as the well versed.

Overall Book Score: very good
