Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach


By Melanie Watt

PICTURE BOOK

I love Scaredy Squirrel! If you've never experienced a Scaredy adventure, you are in a for a treat! This is the third book featuring Scaredy. As you might guess, Scaredy is fearful of many things: germs, sea monsters, and falling coconuts. He is determined to build his own beach where he will be safe and not encounter any of these crowds. But, lo and behold, he's missing the sound of the ocean! He decides to make a quick trip, that is VERY carefully planned out, to the beach to get a seashell. There he finds a different type of crowd he wasn't planning on - people! What's a scaredy squirrel to do? This witty and fun book is perfect for summer reading. Did I mention it's funny too? Anyone who has ever had a worry-moment will relate to Scaredy.
