When Jed, the squirrel, is snatched by a hawk, his two friends TsTs and Chai travel the buzzpath (power lines) to where TsTs saw him drop from the hawk's clutches. As they journey together, they discover something more menacing that is quickly approaching their community along the buzzpath.
Very humorous! Great word choice and lots of figurative language. Cute funny illustrations sprinkled throughout the book.
Was a bit preachy about cutting down trees (why I do not highly recommend it-otherwise it is a fun book with the opportunity to expand readers' vocabulary and thinking while reading.).
Told from the squirrel's point of view so reader must use his/her schema and infer what the squirrels mean.
Strategies: inferring, schema, check for understanding/monitor reading(one group of squirrels has an unique dialect, the point of view switches at different chapters)
