Scaredy Squirrel is scared of everything. Some of the things he is scared of are sensible, like poison ivy. Others are not so sensible, like aliens and the sharks in the stream that runs near his tree. To keep away from danger, Scaredy Squirrel never leaves his tree. He keeps on schedule, watches for trouble, and has an emergency kit to help him if anything goes wrong. He also has a plan of action and escape routes in case he does need to leave his tree. One day he falls out of his tree (minus his emergency parachute) and finds out, to his amazement, that he is a flying squirrel. Although his timid nature is not totally changed, he learns that adventure can be fun, if taken in small doses. Scaredy Squirrel has light, appropriate music and a clear, interesting narrator. The artwork is simple and appealing. The DVD also comes with an interview with the author, subtitles, and lesson plans. This DVD would be a good addition to classroom themes of risk taking and confidence for preschool through third grade. Reviewer: Susan PhelanSchool Library Journal
PreS-Gr 3—Melanie Watt's picture book (Kids Can Press, 2006) comes to life in this humorous production about taking risks. After a cute introduction encouraging viewers to wash their hands, David de Vries's announcer-style voice brings the book pages to life. Simple animation of Watt's charcoal-outlined cartoon-like illustrations accompanied by text from the book depicts Scaredy Squirrel and his various fears—germs, killer bees, sharks, Martians, and more—as he stays safely hidden in his tree. Amusing music adds to the fun of the story as the drama unfolds and Scaredy Squirrel is finally forced to leave his tree—only to discover something very special about himself in the process. Optional features include a read-along version, subtitles, and an interview with the author, which even young viewers will enjoy thanks to the many cartoons interspersed within the interview. The teacher's guide offers suggestions for utilizing the DVD in the classroom with activities for both pre- and post-viewing. Viewers will be left wanting more episodes of Scaredy Squirrel and his funny antics, so have the other books in the series available for them to read.—Cathie Bashaw Morton, Millbrook Central School District, NY
