Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach

Scaredy Squirrel builds his own beach scene near his tree only to discover he's missing the sound of the ocean, so he makes a plan to get to the beach, and a safety plan for when he is there. He has to use his safety plan as he wasn't counting on people being there!

A definite must to have in any classroom. It still tells a good story to get over your fears and try something new, so I'd probably adapt it in that way.

You can't go wrong with a book when the author is as good as this one. I give two thumbs up. Very funny and enjoyable for all ages.

Scaredy Squirrel begins to conquer his fears. He is forced to travel to a real beach to find a seashell full of ocean sounds. He prepares for every eventuality but doesn't realize that the beach may be full of people. After playing dead for two hours, he decides to join in the fun.

This is such a

real beach after all, in a carefully orchestrated campaign that (inevitably) goes wonderfully awry.

I enjoyed Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach, and appreciated some of the little details, like Scaredy's middle name (and consequent initial scheme), as well as the continuing theme of discovery and confidence-building, in which the hero learns that the intimidating world outside his tree has many wonderful things to offer. The illustrations are bright and appealing, the format (with lots of lists) entertaining. Another winner in Mélanie Watt's ongoing picture-book series about the phobic squirrel!

I embarrassed my son when I saw this at the library: Oh! A new Scaredy Squirrel book! Yay!" Well, sorry, but I empathize with the little dude and have a lot to learn from him as he copes with his anxieties and has fun despite them."

A cute story with good lessons about being brave and enjoying the world.

Such a cute story about being scared and how to overcome you fears
