It was an enormous black bird with a mean look in his eye. “What kind of silly animal are you anyway?”
Today’s glimpse is when Shelby suggests that perhaps they can cross a busy street by following the children while a crossing guard is taking them over. He encounters a nasty crow when he runs up what looks like a tree but is joined to wires where it stops abruptly!
“I…..I…..I’m a squirrel! A flying squirrel!!”, he managed to blurt out between hiccups, remembering to speak carefully around his stuffed cheeks. The big black crow let out a scornful squawk.
“What? Do you think you’re a bird? Oh, brother, now I’ve seen everything!” and he moved closer. “Let’s see you fly, then!”
