eventually learning that it is not as bad as he initially imagined.
However, he only slightly alters his strict daily routines after these
experiences.The first book, Scaredy Squirrel, introduces the main
character, a nervous squirrel, who is afraid of many things and keeps
safe in his tree, following an intricate routine. One day he has an
unexpected visitor, which he thinks is a "killer bee". The terrified
squirrel takes a leap into the unknown and discovers to his surprise
that he is a flying squirrel.Scaredy Squirrel Makes a Friend, was
published in March 2007 by Kids Can Press. In it, Scaredy decides to
leave his nut tree and find the perfect friend; he must be germ free,
toothless and completely predictable. With meticulous planning and
preparation Scaredy sets off with rubber gloves and air freshener in
hand, but the friend he finds is not what he had in mind at all.
