Readers of any age will chuckle with recognition at the squirrel’s attempts to control his life. A fold-out page presents the surprise of his discovery that he can fly (while an insert shows him holding up a score card with points for his athletic feat). The style is contemporary, colourful, and cartoon-like, with lists and schedules outlining Scaredy’s cautious approach to life. Watt’s book is genuinely funny, and its text and pictures work very well together. Leaping from his tree to avoid the bees, Scaredy discovers an unexpected gift – he is a flying squirrel! Never one to take advantage of an opportunity, however, he simply builds into his daily routine a short flight, followed by two hours of playing dead, just in case.

Meanwhile, the bees that fly by his tree and provoke him into panicky action are drawn with smiling faces, unlike the frowning killer bees of his fantasy. Scaredy Squirrel is portrayed as something of a worry-wort, obsessively cataloguing his fears, making lists about how to deal with the situation, equipment he. The only realistic threat on Scaredy’s list is poison ivy, and that’s what his emergency kit ends up being used for. Scaredy’s (mostly irrational) fears are common enough in younger children, and Montreal author-illustrator Mélanie Watt gently teases her squirrel about them, with little jokes that readers can detect if they look carefully at the pictures. A squirrel uses his quirks and creativity to tackle the daily. He has organized his days into a comfortable if boring routine of waking, looking at the view, eating a nut, then sleeping again, and has an emergency kit and emergency preparedness plans all ready just in case. Available on FilmRise, Prime Video, Tubi TV, iTunes. But in his tree, every day is the same and if danger comes along, he's well-prepared. However, as a running gag, he will act overly smart sometimes, similiar to Patrick from SpongeBob. He wears an orange jacket and shirt and does not wear shoes.
He is also a little dim-witted and believes in good luck. He could encounter tarantulas, green Martians or killer bees. Dave is a un-clean blue/white skunk who isnt as organized as Scaredy. Scaredy is a squirrel who won’t leave his nut tree because of possible hazards in the unknown, such as killer bees, poison ivy, and sharks. Scaredy Squirrel never leaves his nut tree. This cheerful picture book is for and about the seriously fearful.
