Description
When Bird and Squirrel crash land in the South Pole during a raging blizzard, Bird is taken away by a horde of penguins intent on feeding him to a killer whale as a sacrifice and Squirrel must hatch a crazy plan to escape. Book #2
Quick Summary
Bird and Squirrel's accidental plunge into the Antarctic ice sets off a wild penguin kidnapping and a daring rescue mission that feels like a cartoon chase. Kids will love the slapstick teamwork, the icy chase on an ice floe, and the laugh-out-loud moments when Squirrel improvises gadgets to outwit the penguins. If your kid likes the silly mischief of "Dog Man" and the fast paced rescue antics of "Narwhal and Jelly", they will be hooked on Bird & Squirrel on Ice. The book is ideal for early middle grade readers in grades 3 to 5 who are ready for short, illustrated chapters with big humor and a splash of peril.
