	Print Feature Sheet

At Kids Can Press, we recognize that viewing a single spread is not always effective when attempting to evaluate reading level, gauging student interest or appraising the quality and detail of illustration in a children’s book.

For this reason, we have worked with Lookybook.com to incorporate full, cover-to-cover previews of select picture books and early reading titles within our on-line store. We believe that Lookybook is the most compelling previewing experience currently available on-line, and that it’s as close and you can get to flipping through pages of the real book in a bookstore, at a trade show or school library. We hope that you will take advantage of this useful feature while browsing through our Web site.

For more information about Lookybook, or to read reviews of our books by librarians, industry experts and moms and dads, visit www.lookybook.com.

Hardcover Jacket USD $15.95 978-1-55453-225-4 Grades: Pre-K to 3 Ages: 4 to 8 Character Education courage Reading Levels: Fountas & Pinnell K Grade Level 2 Reading Recovery 18 Accelerated Reader 3.6 LG © 2008 4-color 8 x 8 32 pages	We know by now that Scaredy Squirrel only feels safe when he's at home in his nut tree, with his defenses, his emergency kit and his back–up plans at the ready. So even though the sun is shining and it's time for a vacation, Scaredy does not want to go to the beach — that vast, frightening place where a squirrel could get stranded. (Not to mention other hazards such as sea monsters, falling coconuts, seagulls, pirates and lobsters.) Instead, Scaredy builds his own safe beach getaway under his nut tree, complete with germ-free inflatable pool, artificial beach scenery, a flashlight and a plastic flamingo. Still, the lure of the genuine beach is strong — even a dedicated homebody such as Scaredy can't resist it forever. Can his back–up plans save him from its perils? Will his No.65 sunscreen protect his delicate complexion? Reviews “... Scaredy Squirrel returns in another hilarious tale ... Watt’s cartoon-style pictures ... add joke after joke ... they deliver a surprise on every page ...” — Booklist, June 2008 “This is an excellent book to share one-on-one.” — School Library Journal, May 2008 “Kids ... will go nuts for Scaredy ... the world’s most lovable worry-wart ... readers can’t help but laugh out loud...a fun visual treat for kids, adults and forest animals of all kinds.” — Breitbart, April 2008 “... The signature illustrations ... provide plenty of visual jokes for readers to chuckle over ... Scaredy’s anxieties and his ridiculous solutions remain fresh enough to delight with this salty offering.” — Kirkus Reviews, March 2008
