Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach (Melanie Watt)Author: Melanie Watt We know by now that Scaredy Squirrel only feels safe when hes at home in his nut tree, with his defenses, his emergency kit and his back up plans at the ready. So even though the sun is shining and its time for a vacation, Scaredy does not want to go to the beach that vast, frightening place where a squirrel could get stranded. (Not to mention other hazards such as sea monsters, falling coconuts, seagulls, pirates and lobsters.)
