Scaredy Squirrel has a birthday party
Written and Illustrated by Melanie Watt
Recommended for ages 4-8.
$16.95
It’s birthday time for the famous, fearful rodent. As he has for all of his birthdays, Scaredy busily plans his party for one. He really prefers to celebrate by himself since there are so many unknowns that could arise if other creatures are invited. A few that are especially frightening for Scaredy are Big Foot, ants, clownfish, ponies and porcupines.
As he ventures off to mail his invitation to himself, he discovers a birthday card from his friend, Buddy. For a brief moment in time, Scaredy thinks it would be a good idea to invite Buddy to his party. So he quickly addresses the invitation to Buddy and hopes for the best. “But inviting a guest is one risky move!” Now the man of honour must start to organize his party for two. He selects the conversation topics for small talk, determines the dos and don’ts of partying (with the only ‘do’ being to sit quietly) and finally prepares the timeline for the one-hour party.
As is often the case, when planning a party – the best-laid plans do not always work out! At precisely 1pm, Scaredy is literally scared out of his tree. Buddy has brought all kinds of friends to join in the celebration. Will Scaredy Squirrel survive the commotion? Perhaps he may enjoy it (even if he won’t admit it)!
This is Melanie Watt’s fifth book in the Scaredy Squirrel series
