Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for the digital advance reading copy of this book.
This would be a good book to read to children that have never had the pleasure of camping and may be afraid of the unknown. Scaredy Squirrel does a good job of explaining all of the things that could keep you from camping as well as all the exciting things that can happen when you actually go camping.

Scaredy Squirrel is back! This time he wants to stay far away from camping outside, much happier to watch a TV show ABOUT camping. Unfortunately though, he needs to plug his TV in for it to work. So he has to find an electrical outlet which means heading outside and into the campground. As always, Scaredy plans his trip carefully. He lists what he is scared of, packs important survival supplies, picks out a wilderness outfit to keep himself safe from things like nasty odors and bugs, and has a map of his mission timed to the minute. But things do not go as planned, showing Scaredy that sometimes it’s not about the plan itself but the journey on which it takes you.
Watt has a wonderful comedic timing that she displays in all of her Scaredy Squirrel and Chester books. It is all about those moments of hesitation that make the humor all the more funny. Scaredy is a great character with his obsessive planning and worrying. Many children will see themselves in Scaredy and also be able to see the humor as well. As always, the illustrations are clear, clean and add to the fun.
Another great book in a strong series, this one is perfectly timed for spring and summer camp outs. Appropriate for ages 4-6.

Scaredy Squirrel has no plans to go camping. He plans to put his new TV in his tree and stay there. However he needs some power. He is going to have a camping trip of his own just to find a plug-in. A nice compliment to the rest of the series.

Attempting to avoid the potential hazards of the outdoors, such as skunks, mosquitoes, and penguins, Scaredy Squirrel instead ventures cautiously outside in search of an electrical outlet for his TV, so he can watch a camping show from the comfort and safety of his nest. After surviving a panic attack, he discovers to his wonderment that “the wilderness… is meant to be enjoyed up close.”
