Scaredy Squirrel at night, written and illustrated by Melanie Watt. Kids Can Press, 2009. $16.95 ages 3 and up


"WARNING! Scaredy Squirrel insists that everyone check under their beds before reading this book."

If your nighttime ritual has never included a book about Scaredy Squirrel, get out your library card and get down to the public library and check him out. The only problem might be the lack of availability. I assume these books are always in someone’s pleased hands! If you have a tendency to be confident and without fear, you may not understand this fidgety squirrel and his many eccentricities. If you are an insomniac with concerns about bad dreams and wee ghosties, you need to meet this guy. He never sleeps and as a result, he suffers much indignation…poor reflexes, confusion, lack of energy. When his horoscope indicates that all of his dreams are about to come true, he panics and outfits himself with everything he might need to ward off his demons. Oh, such fun! If this is your first foray into Scaredy’s world, I assure you it won’t be your last!
