douglas reads: scaredy squirrel

well she's at it again...choosing a gut busting good time read for all!
today, douglas reads:
scaredy squirrel
by: melanie watt {there's a fancy accent above the 'e' in melanie's name...boy, i wish my name had a fancy accent too. it would sound so much better!}
we can REALLLLLLLLY relate to scaredy squirrel around our house...as of late we have our own scaredy squirrel, mr. hugh. the poor babes has been bitten by fright! all of our artwork scares him...so our walls are bare....our refrigerator magnets scare him...the calendar scares him...the street lights scare him...men with beards, certain flowers, all froggies, horses with teeth, elephants, candle holders, zebras {and i am sure i'm leaving lots out}...all of those...scare hugh.
this will pass, right?
back to scaredy squirrel...
not only is the writing brilliant...but so are the illustrations. so when you rush out immediately to your corner bookstore to purchase scaredy squirrel...why not pick up this and this too!
thanks douglas...we are so lucky to have you!
