Scaredy Squirrel Goes Camping

Posted on by

Scaredy Squirrel is afraid of the big outdoors.  Well, actually, he’s scared of more than that, a lot more, but he knows how to deal with his fears – by making lists and planning to overcome any trouble he encounters. Camping outdoors seems like way too much trouble, so he decides he would rather watch it on TV instead. In order to enjoy the outdoors on his TV he will first need to plug in his extension cord at a local campground. After making his list of fears and creating solutions to deal with them, he dons his protective gear and bravely heads out into “the wild”. Of course, something happens to derail his plans (oh no! Penguins! His worst fear!). Curiosity overrides fear as he learns a valuable lesson.

Another cute, funny and entertaining book in this series.  Large colorful pictures and simple descriptive text are used to create a story that both children and adults will enjoy.

Scaredy Squirrel Prepares for Halloween

Posted on by

Scaredy Squirrel is ready to teach readers about the perils of Halloween and how to avoid them.

As his name implies, Scaredy Squirrel is afraid of many things.  In this book he guides readers in celebrating a non-threatening Halloween.  Tongue-in-cheek tips include: how to make your house look festive with a ghoulish (but not too ghoulish) interior, how to safely carve a jack-o-lantern (always go with a friendly look),  costume choices (with a scare factor rating for each), acquiring candy (always have an inspection before attempting to eat any…do not attempt to eat a toad that is stuck to your candy) and rational excuses for not entering a haunted mansion. Full color drawings riddle the pages making this series fun to read and entertaining.

This is the eighth book in this series and like the others, it generally will not make it back to the shelf before it is checked out again.
