I have a soft spot for neurotic anthropomorphic animals.
Meet Scaredy Squirrel. He never leaves his nut tree. He’s too scared. What if he met a killer bee? Or a tarantula? Or a shark?
In the nut tree, every day is the same. Always predictable. Same great view. Same great nuts. And in case anything ever did happen, Scaredy Squirrel is prepared with an emergency kit chock full of hardhats, Band-Aids, and parachutes.
He is happy. Until one day, a killer bee appears in Scaredy Squirrel’s nut tree. He jumps in panic and knocks his emergency kit out of the tree, which was NOT part of the plan. What follows inspires Scaredy Squirrel to make drastic changes to his daily routine.
The illustrations are adorable and the book’s format is fun and unique. The flow of the story is sprinkled with Squirrel’s own diagrams, maps, schedules and lists.
Scaredy Squirrel is the first in a series books including Scaredy Squirrel Goes Camping, Scaredy Squirrel has a Birthday Party, and Scaredy Squirrel at Night. The books are geared towards children 4-8.
