My favorite part is when Scaredy Squirrel’s plan fails. In this part he makes a plan to keep monsters away. For example, he gets a fire extinguisher to keep the dragons away. This part is super funny! I liked how Scaredy Squirrel's teeth glow in the dark on the cover of the book. It makes me want to snuggle up in bed and read it! I also liked when Scaredy Squirrel played the cymbals to help him stay awake at night. I can make a picture in my head of a squirrel playing cymbals in a big oak tree. I thought it was cool how the author make the different moon shapes in different parts of the book. It showed that time was passing.
