Fun-loving Bird and paranoid Squirrel don't get along at first. Then Bird injures his wing and accidentally destroys Squirrel's hoard of nuts. When faced with the possibility of starving to death or migrating south with Bird, Squirrel chooses the road trip. When they get to know each other a little better...they really get on each others' nerves. Now they're on the road and they have no food, no place to sleep, and no umbrella in the middle of a storm. But what does bird think they need more than anything else? A theme song!
This is a fun odd couple story. Squirrel is so tightly wound and Bird is so zany that it's impossible not to find them entertaining. The way the Wile E Coyote-like Cat is repeatedly defeated is hilarious. The spot-on facial expressions and bright artwork help convey a lot of humor as well. I'd give this to kids looking for a funny comic.
