Are you planning an upcoming birthday party? Or perhaps you are trying to figure out how to avoid things you do not like....if so.....then this book is for you! Scaredy Squirrel is back and he is looking to celebrate his birthday. But...as you can imagine all of Scaredy's fears, concerns and worries make this a much harder task than it needs to be. Scaredy Squirrel is the master of making lists and of planning ahead. I always appreciate how organized Scaredy is and if you are a fan of lists, charts, and schedules then you will appreciate Scaredy Squirrel's approach to life and the story he tells through the engaging pages of this book. The best part is that this book, like so many of his others, has a surprise ending and Scaredy is forced to deal with a change in plans. This is an excellent message as so many times in our days things happen over which we have no control. The snow storm that I am looking at right now out our school window in the first week of spring would be a great example of how sometimes the unexpected just happens. This latest book by Melanie Watts is a wonderful read not just for the story of Scaredy's birthday party but for the mini life-lessons we can learn from his adventures. Let me know what you think and if you can make any connections between this story and some of your own personal experiences.
Don't forget to visit our library to check out the other great books Mrs. Taylor has on display. Happy Reading!

ReplyDeleteMr McDonald, I LOVE this book!! My daughter is a huge Scaredy Squirrel fan and we have read all of his adventures. She was very excited to see that Scaredy had a birthday party! It seems that poor Scaredy plans things out so well, only to have his plans ruined!! But luckily, he always has a good time and learns something about himself! 10/10 :)
