Publisher's Synopsis
Meet Walt Walthers, elderly weather watcher, and his rascally roommate, Stumpy the stub-tailed gray squirrel. From their cozy cabin on Kibbee Pond, the two buddies embark on adventures that include exploratory boat rides in Walt's skiff, Nelly, as well as road trips in Lulu, the 1960 Chevy pickup, to such exciting events as Squannacook Squealing Squirrels baseball games, annual pie-baking contests, riverside picnics, and local music concerts. Present to enjoy Walt's masterful storytelling, subtle wit, and legendary sour cream-blueberry muffins are his new neighbors, almost-six-year-old Tony Riggetti and his mom, Amy, as well as old friends Todd Jormonen, the string-playing handyman and snowplow driver, and Arlene Tosh, Walt's high school crush from decades earlier, who brings along her goofy elephantine yellow Lab, Big Bruno.
Experience a simpler way of living as Walt and Stumpy spend their days marveling at the small wonders of the natural world, savoring time spent among friends, and never taking themselves too seriously.
