Overview
A collection of five hilarious stories starring Scaredy Squirrel - everyone's favorite worrywart! Scaredy Squirrel would rather stay safe and secure in his nut tree than risk venturing out into the great unknown. There are so many hazards out there! But every now and then, when he does take a brave step outside his comfort zone, Scaredy Squirrel discovers something new and exciting. And somehow, the thing he didn't want to do turns out to be the best thing he's ever done! Now Scaredy Squirrel fans can get these five bestselling titles in one hardcover edition: Scaredy Squirrel Scaredy Squirrel Makes a Friend Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach Scaredy Squirrel at Night Scaredy Squirrel Has a Birthday Party Readers of all ages love Melanie Watt's sweetly vulnerable, lovable Scaredy Squirrel. Children relate to his numerous fears of the unfamiliar - both the real, possible threats and the outlandish ones - while being in on the joke of how his checklists, schedules and detailed plans never quite prepare Scaredy the way he thinks they will and usually weren't needed in the first place! By working through his apprehensions, Scaredy Squirrel shows readers it's okay to take risks and do the thing you think you can't do. These stories are excellent for teaching character-education lessons on courage, adaptability and perseverance. This hardcover edition makes a perfect collectible or gift for Scaredy Squirrel fans of any age.
