This book got me at the beginning with the title. I needed to see what it was about. I also knew that my daughter would get a kick out of it. When we read it I thought it was such a twist! Not what I was expecting. My daughter made us read it twice but then she said she was scared and didn’t like dead squirrels haha.
I’d still recommend it to others.

Gabrielle Ferrara's Dead Squirrels Everywhere is a unique children's book that combines counting with a whimsically macabre theme. The illustrations are vibrant and engaging, making it a visual treat for young readers. I enjoyed reading it because it cleverly turns a potentially dark subject into something humorous and educational, making learning fun for kids.

Well, it is a counting book and you get to count dead squirrels. The book is imaginative, the pictures are great, but it is on this side of macabre. However, if this is what you are looking for and if dead squirrels are your idea of a good time, this is the book for you. I don't want to give a spoiler alert, Maybe there are not dead quirrels everywhere?

I'll be perfectly honest I requested this mostly from pure curiousness. I laughed so hard at every page of this and not because it's absurd, well it is a little, but in a good way. Maybe it's just my morbid sense of humor or the fact that happy colorful children's books are a dime a dozen, but I loved it. And I know my two boys are going to get a good kick out of it. Thank you for making a book for us parents and kids a little off the beaten path!

At the end of this book there were tears in my eyes from chortling, and a few from that very last page. I will be gifting this book to a few parental figures of my acquaintance who will appreciate it.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I don't know if this is supposed to be for kids, or adults, because of the death parts, but I thought it was hysterical.

This book is not for everyone! But if you love dark humor, you will not be disappointed with this adorable counting book. Everybody thinks squirrels are cute, right? So it is all the more horrifying but hilarious that you can use this book to count from one to ten. The pictures are perfect, too, cute and stylishly dark. I will be recommending this to my friends who enjoy this style, which reminds me of Edward Gorey. thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

This was fun to read. I loved it. Its a creepy counting book with a nod towards the morbid. Number 4-sick with disease, Number 6 found frozen in snow , Number 8 caught by a spider are fantastic, my favorite; and are imaginative and well done. A true conversation starter. Illustrations are fantastic, and fit the book well.
