Review by Cassandra Ricafort
Scaredy Squirrel is back to his usual antics as he plans for the best holiday party ever with his friends. As usual, he must create lists, check them twice, and avoid anything scary along the way. Due to the amount of text, this book is more suited for older fans of the squirrelly franchise than the recommended age range, and ideal for those just starting to read chapter books. Set in a graphic novel format with lots of vibrant images, Canadian author-illustrator Melanie Watt depicts this well-loved character in various funny scenarios that children will enjoy. This book is suitable for any library catering to children.
