Reviews

Scaredy Squirrel will be enjoyed by children who have gone to a birthday party or two and can appreciate the slapstick humor.--School Library Journal
Watt's latest, rendered in her characteristic brightly coloured style, is sheer fun.--Montreal Review of Books
Watt's wry digital illustrations make the most of the perceived mayhem, using a host of graphic conventions to tell her story. There's no question it's a formula by now, but it's still a winning one. Many happy returns, Scaredy.--Kirkus Reviews
