Couverture / Jaquette

Scaredy Squirrel can't wait for Halloween, with its cute decorations, cheerful music . . . and NOTHING spooky. This funny early graphic novel about getting ready for Halloween and overcoming your fears is perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly.

Being scared is nothing new to Scaredy Squirrel in his fourth NUTTY ADVENTURE. That's why he's fully prepared for Halloween: bright lighting? Check. Adorable pumpkin décor? Check. Costumes? You bet. Ghosts, vampires and monsters? That's a big negative. And no trick-or-treating; Scaredy doesn't want to risk cracking a tooth! But with some gentle support and encouragement from his friends, Scaredy learns he can still have a good time and overcome his fears . . . and maybe even get a little spooky! (But just a little.)
