Scaredy Squirrel Has a Birthday Party

Description

In the fifth book, Scaredy Squirrel plans his own birthday and surprise!… things get very crowded.

Scaredy Squirrel is planning his own birthday party for one – but despite his detailed plans, things get out of control when the party animals arrive.

He’s back! Scaredy Squirrel, the loveable worrywart, returns for another nutty adventure. Scaredy never plans big birthday parties. He’d rather celebrate alone quietly in the safety of his nut tree and avoid those pesky party animals (ants, clownfish, ponies and Bigfoot). When all his excessive plans are thrown up in the air like confetti, will Scaredy play dead and cancel? Or will he face the music?

Watt’s wry digital illustrations make the most of the perceived mayhem, using a host of graphic conventions to tell her story. There’s no question it’s a formula by now, but it’s still a winning one. Many happy returns, Scaredy.—Kirkus ReviewsScaredy Squirrel will be enjoyed by children who have gone to a birthday party or two and can appreciate the slapstick humor.—School Library JournalWatt’s latest, rendered in her characteristic brightly coloured style, is sheer fun.—Montreal Review of Books
