Scaredy Squirrel would rather watch a TV show about camping from the safety of his home than risk the dangers of actually being outdoors. But then he realizes, he'll have to brave the great outdoors to reach the electrical outlet at the nearby campground.
Although it is a picture book, it will still appeal to 8 or 9 year olds who are reluctant readers (and adults too!).
What kids will love:
- the zany maps, lists and diagrams (e.g. Scaredy Squirrel's wilderness outfit)
- the humour, such as when things don't go according to Scaredy Squirrel's plan
