Scaredy Squirrel Wants You To Wash Your Hands Before Reading This Review

by Elisa

scaredy-squirrel.jpg

Scaredy Squirrel by Mélanie Watts is the story of a neurotic squirrel that never leaves his nut tree. Scaredy Squirrel is afraid of many things, among them are germs, sharks, and green martians. So, he is happy to just stay in his tree and follow his daily routine. Everything is under control. He even has an emergency kit to help him deal with any unplanned problems. But then, one day, something happens that he did not expect. Even the best laid plans of squirrels sometimes go awry. What will this do to his daily routine?

So, I was at work minding my own business when one of my co-workers brought me Scaredy Squirrel to read. Yes, Dan you were right. This picture book is hilarious. Illustrated as well as written by Mélanie Watts, this book has some seriously cute art. You just can’t beat a winking squirrel who gives you a thumbs up sign. I also love the story. Poor neurotic squirrel. Sometimes I feel just like Scaredy Squirrel. I only wish I had a nice nut tree to hide in.
