by Melanie Watt (Author), Melanie Watt (Author)

Synopsis

Scaredy never sleeps - sleep might mean bad dreams... With exhaustion taking its toll, Scaredy comes face-to-face with an alarming horoscope prediction: All his dreams are about to come true! He must prepare for the worst and his Bad Dream Action Plan includes a fire extinguisher to snuff out dragons and a fan to blast away ghosts. But when disaster strikes, will Scaredy survive this ordeal? Scaredy Squirrel at Night tackles a fear everyone - and especially the young --- can relate to. It's a bedtime story to make light of kids' fear of the dark and a fable for our sleep-deprived society.
