About Tree-mendous Trouble
Product Description Continue the series Kirkus Reviews said will make kids “undoubtedly laugh out loud” with “plenty of humor to tickle young readers” and recommended for fans of Big Nate and Stink! Mike Nawrocki, co-creator of VeggieTales, is back with more adventures with Michael and his friends! Fancy costumes, an upgraded hamster house, and a dinner invitation? Sounds like Merle and Pearl are really coming up in the world now that they’re settling into the 21st century. But maybe this invitation to share acorns with new friends isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It’s another hilarious adventure with Merle and Pearl as they learn that kindness counts, even when you’re facing your biggest (and fluffiest) nemesis. Review An early chapter book full of humor and adventures centered on Christian life. In this fifth entry in the Dead Sea Squirrels series, ancient talking squirrels Merle and Pearl, who were salted and preserved in a cave for centuries, have now found a home with 10-year-old Michael Gomez and his family. After establishing a life in the 21st century, Merle and Pearl come to realize they can get into as many adventures and difficult situations now as they did in the past. This book features run-ins with other local squirrels and Michael’s family cat as well as trouble at Michael’s school when Merle squirms his way out of Michael’s backpack. Whenever Merle and Pearl find themselves in a pickle, Pearl refers to God’s blessings and reminds Merle of God’s teachings. Even as they laugh at the squirrels’ shenanigans, readers will absorb the lessons to be kind and forgiving to family, friends, and even enemies, following God’s will. The illustrations are appropriately humorous (one of Pearl in a bathrobe and bunny slippers, holding a cup of tea, is particularly funny), and they depict an interracial Gomez family; Michael, his dad, and his sister have somewhat darker skin than does Michael’s mother. A cliffhanger whets readers’ appetites for the next book, Whirly Squirrelies, which publishes simultaneously. A fun, action-packed romp with a lesson about living out God’s messages folded in. (Fantasy. 6-9) -- Kirkus Reviews From the Back Cover Watch out for falling CATS! What happens when Mr. Nemesis’s plot to eliminate Merle and Pearl Squirrel backfires? It’s a cat-tastrophe! George Washingsquirrel, a well-timed bathroom emergency, and a squirrel dinner party come together to make another hilarious learning adventure for Merle, Pearl, and Michael.
