Scaredy Squirrel Prepares for Christmas: A Safety Guide for Scaredies
Nervous Scaredy Squirrel returns, this time worried about the Christmas holidays. And why not? He has to figure out what gifts to buy, how to decorate, what to wear. All these worries (and more!) result in a packed little book, illustrated with all sorts of wacky ideas. For instance, he divides his gift recipients into types along with appropriate presents. Silent fellows like the lawn gnome get earmuffs. Mythical pals, like unicorns, get a horoscope book. Some of the humor may be above the heads of the intended audience, but the sheer volume of silly stuff means there’s probably something for everyone. Grades 1-3. --Ilene Cooper
