Graham Taylor was sitting in his kitchen one morning, contemplating the universe over a bowl of cold cereal, when he noticed a squirrel outside the window--the same squirrel he'd seen countless times before. How nice it would be, he thought, if that squirrel could be my friend. So he jotted down a few lines to that effect and displayed his creative endeavor on the fridge, which is where his friend Graham Roumieu spotted it. Roumieu illustrated these meandering thoughts and urged Taylor to do more. The rest, as they say, is history. A Really Super Book About Squirrels is a quirky little humor book that combines art and words into a collection that will appeal to both the squirrel lovers and squirrel haters among us. It's a tongue-in-cheek tribute to that backyard rodent that we really want to like.

A Really Super Book about Squirrels
This really is a really super book about squirrels. The man (possibly Graham or Graham) wonders endlessly about the squirrel he sees outside his house. Why does he bury nuts in the ground, what is he thinking when he stops in the middle of the road in front of oncoming traffic, why is he trying to get into the attic? The squirrel has no response to these questions. It goes about its business as usual. The man imagines its thoughts, actions, and antics (and the blossoming of their friendship) through simple line-drawn, color-washed illustrations. Hysterical.
Excerpt: Squirrel, can I come over to your house today? You seem to visit me a lot. I figure it is time to be as kind. We could play board games and listen to the music you like. Where do you live? Is it nearby? Is it hard to get to? Maybe you're just afraid your house isn't clean enough to have guests over? I don't think you should worry, I'm not too picky. And anyways, I'll give you an hours notice starting now. I'll be waiting on the big branch.
More information about the squirrel: Little is known about "Jimmy the Squirrel" as he is a squirrel and is unable to talk. Through a series of squeaks and chirps he seemed to express that he is excited about having a book written about him and he urges kids to stay in school.
