Gimme Shelter: Misadventures and Misinformation by Doreen CroninMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The squad is back, and this time they've got spoons. And brushes. And voluminous feathers. Soon their squabbles over digging a meteor-storm-prehistoric-unicorn-preserving shelter spread to the squirrels and the chipmunks, but all is forgiven and forgotten when a powerful wind starts blowing all of a sudden, and a mysterious furry-faced creature leads them to safety.
This book had my kids, especially my 7-year-old, shrieking with laughter. There were also plenty of opportunities to discuss what's real and what isn't, the dangers of jumping to conclusions based on inadequate information, what is and is not in the US Constitution, and how voting does and does not work, etc. We love this series!
