I'm with Mary on this. Squirrels are the bane to our bird feeder.
I remembered the name of the game we used to play, to remember the music lines Encore. Ever play it? This reminds me of that game.
We just read Under the Sea by Anna Milbourne,

My dc love to watch the video clips at the Yankee Flipper website
Abu Ali: Three Tales of the MIddle East
My kids really liked this one- my ds can easily read it himself. Plus, I think they just like to say "Abu Ali".

Ugh on squirrels. I thought they were cute when I lived in the country and they mostly stayed in the woods, but now that I'm in the city...city squirrels are an entirely different beast. I actually had one steal my sandwich (that I was about to eat) off of the picnic table in our yard 
We have friends whose boys are OBSESSIVELY IN LOVE with squirrels, so I had to send them this link to squirrel briefs when Sally Thomas posted it a few weeks ago
Anyhoo, I'm playing The Tale of Benjamin Bunny

Wait a minute .... Theresa you live in Sitka ... are there squirrels there ... do you understand what squirrels do?
For starters ... the fuzzy-tailed rats ATE a whole loaf of Panera's Raisin bread left on the counter (they CHEWED thru our screened window to get to the loaf) ... of course, they left a little but who wants to eat what squirrels leave behind ...
and that is just one of the many squirrel catastrophes in our family when we lived in Denver.
Mary M ... I'm with you ... SO NOT a squirrel-lover!

 SQUIRRELS
Yes, we have squirrels in Sitka. Lovely little spunky red squirrels that hurl insults and spruce cones upon our heads and intimidate our dog as we walk through their park.
What's not to love about that?
Actually, I admire their courage, their resourcefulness, and their boundless energy. And chewing through a screen to get to Panera!!?!! Impressive! 
I may even like them more now!

Squirrels are amazing, and so much fun! Could you eat your dinner hanging upside down by your feet or chew through a pecan shell with your teeth?
They are such characters....

Yes by Jez Alborough
We also love Hug with the same characters. These books were huge toddler favorites in our house.

So Many Bunnies: A Bedtime ABC and Counting Book by Rick Walton
We were given this as a gift many years ago and all of my children have liked it.
Squirrels...They chew our garbage can lid and rip open the plastic bags. They chew our recycling can lid. There is definitely no food in the latter, but my husband says that they must smell something (maybe the cereal boxes). They don't chew our yard waste lid even though there is food in this bin.  They might be cute, but I wish they would stay away. It is kind of disconcerting to never know if a squirrel is going to jump out at you when the garbage can lid is opened.

I have a question about the subtitled books. Do we go with S with Bunnies or K for Book?

I would say either. I almost just wrote So Many Bunnies, but the subtitle is included on the front of the book, so I included it. Sorry for the confusion.
