Barbara's Reviews > Scaredy Squirrel Scared Silly: (A Graphic Novel)

Scaredy Squirrel is all set for Halloween. Because he is scared of many of its aspects, including ghosts, vampires, and monsters, he thoroughly prepares by surrounding himself with garlic, inviting his friends to carve friendly pumpkins--definitely not scary ones--and planning a costume that will shield him from harm three months ago. Could the promise of delicious candy apples convince him to join his friends for trick-or-treating? Fans of this series will want to find out? With zombie pumpkins and a character that keeps insisting that everything "needs more ketchup," how can this one miss? The graphic novel format fits this character and his phobias quite well as the book contains small panels, medium-sized ones, large ones, and ones that fill two pages, allowing the facial expressions of Scaredy and his friends to be on full display. Youngsters will also love the Halloween Quiz for Readers that they need to take before starting to read the book. While Scaredy Squirrel may or may not be "scared silly," readers certainly will be.
