Do you have to read Bird & Squirrel in order?
Read them in order if you can. Each book is a new adventure, but the friends' travels and a few ongoing problems carry from one to the next, and the last book wraps things up. A child can start at book 1 and does not need any other background.
What age is Bird & Squirrel for?
Seven to ten is Peabody's estimate, not the publisher's. The pictures carry the action and the vocabulary is easy, so the books fit a child who is a fairly new comic reader. A catalog record we opened labels the last book as middle-grade level. We don't print reading-level scores: they belong to the companies that make them.

About book 1. The page count is from openlibrary.org; the rest is Peabody's own note, never a score.
