This one is for kids who are frightened of anything out of the ordinary. Scaredy Squirrel never leaves his tree because he's afraid of the outside world - particularly green Martians, poison ivy, tarantulas, killer bees, germs and sharks. His days are predictable and boring, but he's safe. He even has an emergency kit consisting of such necessities as a parachute, bug spray, and antibacterial soap. But when the unexpected happens and he panics, he discovers that life can be exciting and adventurous as a flying squirrel. Perhaps the emergency kit won't be needed just yet. While some of the Canadian terminology may need explanation in the U.K., this funny and fun story should be really useful for children who don't like change of any sort in their lives.
