Scaredy Squirrel Makes a Friend

(2) K-3 Terrified of being bitten by piranhas or Godzilla, Scaredy Squirrel keeps to himself. But when he spots a goldfish, he thinks he's found the perfect germ-free, quiet, non-biting companion. Muted-color illustrations downplay Scaredy's anxieties and highlight the silliness of his over-the-top tactics; playfully varied page designs add liveliness to a lighthearted story that doesn't take itself too seriously.
