Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach by Mélanie Watt
5.0
Scaredy returns in his third book that follows the same wonderful theme as the first two. Though Scaredy would love to go to the beach there are so many wrong crowds that he could be surrounded by that he doesn't think it's wise. So Scaredy creates a beach of his own using an inflatable pool and kitty litter. But something is missing - the sounds are all wrong. So Scaredy sets off to find a seashell at the beach to put to his ear. He plans carefully but somehow doesn't factor in one little detail - people.
Watt's art is as always very fresh and fun. The quirks of Scaredy's logic and thoughts are again thoroughly entertaining. I love the touches of oven mitts, his middle name, and the care he puts into anything he does. Very funny, unique and above all child-friendly.
Highly recommended where the first two were popular. But if you don't have the first two, make sure you get those as well. The cover art will get the books moving off of your shelves and the stories will keep them coming back for more. Recommended for ages 5-7.
