Scaredy Squirrel plans for Halloween on October 31st, keeping in mind that there are many frightening aspects to this night, such as witches, haunted houses, vampires and ghosts!

His friend Ivy has his back, bringing over plenty of garlic, though his other friends Tim and Rash give him an unintentional scare. After he recovers, the friends carve and decorate their pumpkins, then get into costume.

Scaredy has come so far: he's hanging out with friends, and even decides to go trick-or-treating! Wow! What progress for this little guy, who used to be terrified to stick a toe out of his tree.

I've loved Mélanie Watt's Scaredy for years; the books are full of humour and useful facts, and also ways for an anxious child to watch someone terrified of everything gradually overcome their fears.

The illustrations absolutely pop off the page, as Scaredy finds ways to handle his fears about this evening, and he, Ivy, Tim and Rash have a terrific and funny time on Halloween.

Thank you to Netgalley and to Penguin Random House Canada for this ARC in exchange for my review.

Another great addition to the Scaredy Squirrel series. I love the emergency fanny pack, that is very "on brand" for Scaredy Squirrel and Tim with his "hints of pepperoni", classic Tim.

I love that Scaredy Squirrel shows young readers that it is okay to be afraid or worried and that things aren't always as scary as they may seem. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series; if the answer to FAQ #1 is true I am hoping for hungry pigeons, I can't wait to find out why Scaredy would be afraid of pigeons.

If you’re already familiar with Scaredy Squirrel or any of Melanie Watt.s other children’s books then you already know there was no question this would be a winner. Scaredy squirrel wants Halloween to be cute not creepy and you must know he is prepared with tools to make it so. This book is three chapters, each with its own Halloween story so is a longer addition to the scaredy squirrel series of books, perfect for a developing reader learning to read on their own but wanting to continue with a favourite cherished character. A must add to any Halloween read aloud or junior reader list and a welcome addition to any children’s book collection.

This format will be perfect for first readers moving to chapter books. Great character, fabulous illustrations and as always humour with a moral at the end. Will sit alongside Rabbit and Bear, Safari Pug and similar titles.

Sure to capture the audience of young minds.

In true scardey squirrel fashion this one will have readers laughing, relating to and likely matching squirrels enthusiasm.

Love the features of text, speech bubbles, labeling, punctuation, captivating illustrations as well as the chapter format for those readers ready for the maturity of chapter books. of course a loveable character will be sure to have everyone turning pages to find out scardey squirrels adventures!
