First there was one, and then there were two. Three more came gliding from under the trees. LOOK! On the hill. Those are squirrels on skis! Below lay the town, snow-covered and still. Not a sound could be heard. All was silent, until . . . \u003ci\u003eSwwwishhhh\u003c\/i\u003e swooped the skiers, all dressed for play. Eighty-five squirrels and more on the way!\" As you can imagine, the townsfolk are NOT amused. Can intrepid reporter Sally Sue Breeze find out where the squirrels are getting their skis-and make them stop skiing long enough to eat lunch-before pest-control guy Stanley Powers sucks them up in his vacuum device? (Don't worry--Sally triumphs in a most unexpected way.) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith delightfully understated, funny illustrations, this is the perfect book for beginning readers to curl up and chill out with on a snow day--or any day! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read!
