About the author
Mélanie Watt
53 books298 followersIt was in a design class taught by Michèle Lemieux at the University of Quebec in Montreal that author and illustrator Mélanie Watt created her first picture book, Leon the Chameleon, which was later published by Kids Can Press. Watt went on to create several more books, including the Learning with Animals collection and Augustine, which was named an ALA Notable Children's Book. Watt has also illustrated Where Does a Tiger-Heron Spend the Night? and Bearcub and Mama, which won the 2006 IRA Teachers' Choices Project.
Mélanie's best known book Scaredy Squirrel, has won many awards including the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children's Book Award for Children's Picture Book and the Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon Illustrator's Award. The release of Scaredy Squirrel Makes a Friend, was met with enthusiastic reviews and incredible sales, confirming the arrival of kid lit's newest superstar.
Chester,Chester's Back! and Chester's Masterpiece are about a megalomaniac cat who is every bit the antithesis to Scaredy. Chester has already become a bestseller and shows the breadth and creativity of Mélanie Watt.
Scaredy returns to take a few more tentative steps out of his comfort zone in Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach and Scaredy Squirrel at Night. Mélanie has often noted how the Scaredy Squirrel books helped her work out her own insecurities and fears, as the success of these titles has required her to venture out into the unknown, and like Scaredy she has found the experience truly uplifting.
Mélanie currently resides near Montreal, Quebec.

The neurotic sciurine hero of
Scaredy Squirrel
(as well as
Scaredy Squirrel Makes a Friend
and
Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach
) returns in this fourth picture-book adventure from Canadian children's author Mélanie Watt, finding multiple ways to avoid going to sleep. After all, sleeping brings dreaming, and dreaming could bring any number of scary things, including: ghosts, unicorns (ha!), dragons, fairies, vampire bats, and polka-dot monsters. Unfortunately for Scaredy Squirrel, his horoscope seems to indicate that his dreams are about to catch up with him...
As with the previous entries in the series, I enjoyed Scaredy Squirrel at Night quite a bit, appreciating the zany humor of both text and art. The idea that we sometimes make things far more frightening than they need to be, by trying to avoid or delay them, is communicated in an entertaining and non-didactic way here. The cartoon-style artwork, with bright colors and the occasional comic-book panel, perfectly suits the text. All in all, another winner in the Scaredy Squirrel series! Now, on to Scaredy Squirrel Has a Birthday Party ...

Featured in a grandma reads session.
There's a little bit of Scaredy Squirrel in all of us, I think. That's part of his appeal. Through him we see our OCDedness and the extreme efforts to which we will go to control every leaf of our environment. All for . . . .nothing mostly. We just get in our own way. These books pull belly laughs out of my kiddos when we read about SS's adventures.
However, you gotta admit, nighttime, darktime, bedtime. . . .well that is it, isn't it? There you are, alone, people say they are right around you, watching over you, but you hear the TV, you hear the music, them talking, nuzzling or fighting. . .they are not in the darkness with you, alone. In your bed. ?Did it just move???!!!! Stay awake. Stay aaaawakkkk. . . .
Yep. Lost one. This book helped that guy. He told me a secret: if you laugh in the dark, it scares the boogers away, and THEN you can sleep. (I didn't ask for a clear definition on "boogers" but will followup soon. . . .)

I can’t say enough about Watt and her creation. These books are A list. Highly recommended for all ages but perfect for a parent and young child. I read 5 of them tonight on a cold and dark Monday while sipping cinnamon tea and listening to cars creep by my house on the icy road. Perfect setting for my reading.

This one is equally as good as the original. Beloved SS is able to conquer his fears and find relief and joy behind his anxiety. It's particularly great for anybody (especially kids) who may have fears of the dark too. And as a mega-bonus... THE COVER GLOWS IN THE DARK!

A book guaranteed to have kids rolling in laughter and teaches them about the benefits of a good night's sleep.

Scaredy Squirrel was making such progress! But now he's having trouble sleeping due to fears of bad dreams. He didn't have any trouble sleeping in the first Scaredy Squirrel book, so something must have happened to trigger these fears of bad dreams. While not a pleasant thing for Scaredy Squirrel, it works out well for Scaredy Squirrel readers since so many children share this fear.
I enjoyed comparing the illustration showing the silhouettes of Scaredy Squirrel's fears of ghosts, unicorns, dragons, fairies, vampire bats, and polka-dot monsters coming true at night with the next illustration showing the reality when he turns on the spotlight. I also loved the list of side effects of sleepless nights: energy loss, moodiness, poor reflexes, forgetfulness, drowsiness, hallucinations, confusion, and exhaustion! What a great thing to teach kids. (And something I still need to learn as an adult!)
I'm not a real fan of horoscopes, but I love how Mélanie Watt uses them here. Also, the warning about the glow-in-the-dark smile on the cover should be taken seriously! It didn't keep me awake, but it did startle me one night when I couldn't figure out what the funny glow was over by my stack of library books when I turned out the lights. :)
Scaredy Squirrel books are just too much fun! I highly recommend them to one and all!

I just love these Scaredy Squirrel books. This book is the fourth in the series. My favorite, Scaredy Squirrel Makes a Friend, was the second book. This one ties with book #1: Scaredy Squirrel, which means I really, really liked it.
I don’t believe in such things as horoscopes, not even the tiniest bit, but it tickled my funny bone that Scaredy Squirrel and I are both Libras. Interestingly, Watt, the author and illustrator, is a Leo, as revealed in her mini author bio in the inside back cover of the book.
I suppose this book could be useful for children who are afraid to go to sleep, who are afraid of nightmares, monsters, etc. childhood fears.
This is a funny and sweet book, and just as much a joy to read for adults as for children.
I hope that there will be a fifth Scaredy Squirrel book.

lmao the illustrations are adorable. it highlights the importance of sleep in a fun way. i doubt it's that easy to scare an actual g h o s t away. i'm looking forward to read the other book featuring squirrel!

A squirrel can never be to prepared, and in fact, it can never be to overly prepared especially as night comes.

Lots of ideas for getting over a fear of the dark!

Me encantan las aventuras de esta ardilla

Really cute book about why it’s important to get a good nights sleep.
This would be a good book for kids learning to sleep in a room by themselves.

Estos fueron los primeros libros que me inspiraron a leer y ahora leo mucho. Y después de leerlo me preguntaba cuantos libros de aventuras tan buenos como éste habrá en el mundo que todavía no leo yo. Además hasta entrevistaron a Ardilla Miedosa y su entrevista salio en la revista Algarabia Niños.
Mega-alerta de Spoiler
Ardilla miedosa no duerme nunca porque piensa que la pueden lastimar o raptar. Algunas cosas como monstruos, ponys, hadas, dragones, murciélagos y fantasmas, por eso no duerme.
Así que hace muchas cosas para mantenerse despierta toda la noche pero hay consecuencias de no dormir en una noche como alucinaciones, falta de energía, mal humor, somnolencia y agotamiento.
Y se encuentra con sus horóscopos y en el mes donde ella nacía aparecía: "Prepárate porque a media noche todos tus sueños se harán realidad" y eran las 9h43. ¡No había ningún minuto que perder! y así una a una fueron apareciendo sus pesadillas y cuando encendió un reflector solo eran mapaches, búhos, caballos con un cono de tránsito, un venado con dos mapaches subidos en su lomo y un plátano en su boca y se desespera porque eso no era parte de su plan y corre, pisa melaza, deja sus huellas, tropieza con un cono de transito caído y se duerme. Ocho horas después se despierta y ya se siente mucho mejor y tira su horóscopo por algo mucho más confiable, una galleta de la fortuna. FIN

Este libro es uno de una serie.
La ardilla miedosa le tiene miedo a todo. En cada libro le tiene miedo a una cosa diferente. Y en este le tiene miedo a las pesadillas y por eso no dormía y al final descubre que las pesadillas están solo en su imaginación.
La parte que más me gustó fue cuando ardilla miedosa se quedó despierta porque uno de los horóscopos decía: Ponte listo ¡A la media noche todos tus sueños se harán realidad!
Ella se queda despierta y hace un plan y cuando cree que sus pesadillas ya está ahí, enciende la luz y están un chorro de animales con los objetos de su plan: puercoespines, mapaches con conos y con sábanas , venados con plátanos en la boca y ranas. Los puerco espines se estaban comiendo los panquesitos.
Lo recomiendo a todos los niños de 5 a 9 años.

Scaredy Squirrel does not want to sleep because he's afraid of bad dreams featuring for example, unicorns, fairies, and polka-dot monsters. GH said in reference to the polka-dot monsters, "How can you be scared of anything that cute?" Scaredy has an action plan to stay awake so he counts stars, plays cymbals, and scrapbooks. The lack of sleep results in moodiness, hallucinations, poor reflexes (he can't avoid a falling leaf!) etc...The pictures are really hilarious. The book was funny and reaffirms that there is nothing to be afraid of at night.

I found some new books that made me laugh out loud. This is one cautious squirrel. I loved how the author doesn't leave out any details with this furry little guy. He has everything he needs to insure a good nights sleep from safety cones, Do Not Disturb sign hung up-side-down for the bats to cupcakes. He even has a teddy bear that he uses as a decoy. Will he get a good nights sleep. You'll have to read it and find out. Enjoy the ride.

I love any books with rodents as characters, so when I saw it on the shelf, I had to check it out. I love the humor in this book. The author uses a typical fear of children (that scary things will happen when it's time to go to sleep) and takes them to an exaggerated level. The pictures are cartoonish in style which adds to the broad, almost slapstick humor. This is a really cute, funny book!

Third book in this series that I read tonight! Loved all three. I even learned a new word in this one... Countdown in French is "le décompte"! I absolutely adore this series!

Estimate Reading Grade Level: Grade 3
Brief Description: Scaredy Squirrel is afraid of bad dreams and goes to great lengths to stay awake to avoid them, which makes him very tired.
An audio book allows for voices and sound effects that enliven a story. Scaredy Squirrel includes a narrator and Scaredy Squirrel whose voice is appropriately squeaky and squirrely. An audio book also allows a student to listen to a story that may be too difficult to read or allows one to read the book without having the book in front of you. Scaredy Squirrel is one of the audio books available on Epic! that students can access on an iPad at school.
Scaredy Squirrel is well suited for its intended audience because Scaredy Squirrel is scared of a lot of things that students in grades K-3 may be scared of. Scaredy Squirrel lightens up fears by going to ridiculous lengths to avoid them. I don't think listening to this book on tape is better than reading the hardcopy book because the illustrations and format of the picture book are so engaging. I missed a lot of the book by just listening to it. The illustrations and drawings support the text better than an audio version of the text. To help students read audio books on Epic! I have gotten the print copy from the library and then we played the audio version on Epic! to listen to the voices because audio books on Epic do not show the pictures. Together, with the audio and the hard copy of the book, the student can then access the reading.

Scaredy Squirrel is exactly that - SCARED! He never sleeps because of the bad dreams he may have. He does his best to stay awake and avoid any scary things that may happen. Unfortunately, one night Scaredy read his horoscope and it read, "All your dreams will come true." So of course Scaredy makes a plan so none of his dreams (or rather nightmares) come true.
I LOVE the Scaredy Squirrel books. My students fall in love with them every time we read them. They laugh and really like the character Scaredy. I enjoy this one because it really emphasizes being brave and how to be brave. When I read it with my first graders we talk about times when we were scared about doing something or going somewhere, but how in the end we were brave and conquered our fears. I often have students write about these moments as well. They tell what they were scared about, how they faced their fear, and how they felt in the end.

No es de sorprender este tema que ya muchos han abordado debido al constante tema del miedo nocturno de nuestros pequeños humanos, al ser una etapa normal y trascendente me parece muy bien que se aporten este tipo de historias para poder de manera divertida llevar un mensaje de valor a quienes afecta está situación.
La pequeña ardilla, protagonista de este cuento, evita dormir para no tener esa sensación que tanto la incomoda y siempre buscando maneras para evitar que sus peores miedos se transformen en realidad. Pero si que tenía esa realidad muy alterada pues poco a poco descubre como su imaginación juega con ella.
El mensaje tan importante es el poder enseñarle a los pequeños la importancia del sueño y crear un buen hábito en este aspecto para no sufrir las consecuencias. Un cuento que incentiva a mejorar nuestras costumbres.

Frisson l’écureuil en pleine nuit – Mélanie Watt
Ohhh que j’aime Frisson. Il est drôle, attendrissant ET…. Il a peur de tout. Et ma fille l’adore tout autant.
C’est l’histoire d’un petit écureuil qui a peur de tout : son ombre, les bruits, les araignées et de ses rêves. Ses histoires sont pleines d’aventures et de rires. Les illustrations sont magnifiques, les textes sont entraînants et ma fille les adore. À lire absolument!
Des histoires drôles, à lire tout seul.
J’ai travaillé en CPE et en milieu scolaire, et je peux vous dire que les enfants adorent les aventures de Frisson l’écureuil. Un petit animal mignon, touchant et émouvant. Des textes entraînants, drôles et qui a une touche de « répétition » adorable, surtout si vous connaissez ces histoires.
Nous adorons découvrir de nouvelles aventures de Frisson. À vous de les découvrir à votre tour!

Scaredy Squirrel offers a way to talk about fears and the roilings of imagination with early elementary. The pictures mesh perfectly with the text making it easier for struggling readers, who can almost read the story with just one or the other.
Sime adults will not love the radical literacy format (many pages are not exactly linear) but kids will likely eat it up.
note on formatting: I read this on the got epic app and I really liked how it let me zoom in on various areas of the page ensuring that both I and my reader were focusing on the same words and pictures as I read.

We're so proud of you for reading "Scaredy Squirrel at Night!" You learned something really important - that sometimes the things we're afraid of aren't as scary as we think. Just like Scaredy Squirrel discovered that nighttime can be beautiful instead of frightening, you can be brave when you feel worried about new things. Maybe next time you feel a little scared, you can remember Scaredy and try being brave too! You're becoming such a wonderful reader, sweetie.
