In his fourth spirited adventure, Scaredy Squirrel is determined to avoid bad dreams by staving off sleep. However, nothing incites imagination quite like exhaustion. In order to keep away nightmarish fairies, dragons, and "polka-dot monsters," Scaredy comes up with a plan, and chaos ensues. Great pacing and comic timing in addition to well-designed, detailed, kid-friendly illustrations make this a winner.
