"2nd to 4th grade Upon first glance I though this book would have been much more remedial based off of the title and illustrations on the front page. Wow, I was so wrong. The text describes how scaredy squirrel is afraid to leave the safety of his tree. I uses a large variety of vocabulary that is much higher level that lower elementary level children may not understand. The text not only incorporates schedules of day but also of time, what to do in a disaster. The text is arranged in a variety of settings such as: within the illustrations, in negative space, in a framed organized unit, and so words that are important to understand are bolded to stress the importance of the word. The illustrations in this book are created from a lot of solid coloring. For example the outline of the illustrations is done in a think black line which appears to be done in charcoal. Then the rest of the colors are very solid, with no shading of dark and light colors. One noticeable thing about the illustrations is that Watt did are highlighted by negative space. I think that this book is appealing because there are many different things to look at some familiar and some that may be new to them. The text also pulls out realistic fears that children face such as tarantulas, germs, and just doing something different and out of their comfort zone. This book has so many different uses it is insane. However at the same time I wonder if it has too many things going on. It may be a book that needs to be read over a week if you want to incorporate all it has to offer in your lessons. Classroom Connection: Math: Clock and schedule usage Science: Uses steps to a procedure Health: Making an emergency kit"
"I was introduced to this book at library storytime. The librarians really like this book and the sequels, and the kids there get into it a lot.
Scaredy squirrel is afraid of... well... everything. Mostly the unknown. After all - it may contain sharks! Or germs! Or green martians! Or... KILLER BEES!!!!! So he just stays in his tree. He can eat a nut and look at the view, eat a nut and look at the view all day long. No excitement. No danger. Everything absolutely under control.
Until a killer bee appears, flinging the poor squirrel to the ground. Luckily, he finds out he's a flying squirrel. And luckier still, he knows just what to do. Playing dead, after all, is ALWAYS a good option. So he hangs out there for two hours and goes home, and makes DRASTIC changes to his life. Now, we learn, he goes out into THE UNKNOWN every day for two hours to play dead.
(He's still kinda scared of everything.)
The book is full of diagrams and detailed plans, so read it once or twice to yourself before you try reading it aloud. Be sure to ham it up, too - this is the sort of book that's MADE for frantic mugging and dramatic pauses."
""Awesome!' cried my six-year-old daughter when I presented her with her very own copy of Scaredy Squirrel. It's currently number one on her class's favorites list, and with good reason. We laughed ourselves silly at Scaredy Squirrel's emergency kit and reluctance to leave his tree, then cheered his bravery at finally leaping from said tree into the UNKNOWN."
"This book was hilarious, and reminded me of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. It has the same kind of humor, being told from the view of Scaredy Squirrel. Scaredy is afraid of going into the unknown, prefering the saftey of his tree. But he is also bored of the same routine. By chance, he finds out he can glide, opening up new possibilities in his life, improving on his life."
