Frisson l'écureuil en pleine nuit [French ed. of Scaredy Squirrel at Night]

by Mélanie Watt (author & illustrator)

"Dans cette nouvelle aventure, Frisson n'aime pas les cauchemars. Il croit que la seule façon de les éviter est de ne pas dormir... Alors pendant la nuit, il se tient occupé et il veille. Il y a des effets secondaires au manque de sommeil, comme le manque d'énergie, les trous de mémoire et l'épuisement total. Mais il veille quand même. C'est ainsi qu'un soir, il lit dans son horoscope que tous ses rêves vont devenir réalité à minuit! Et si c'était vrai? Frisson panique! Que peut-il faire?"

Scaredy never sleeps ― sleep might mean bad dreams about dragons, ghosts, vampire bats and polka-dot monsters. Our wide-eyed hero has a plan: stay awake all night, every night. Between counting stars, playing cymbals and making scrapbooks, he does a good job of avoiding dreamland. 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? Will he thank his lucky stars? Will he find sweet dreams?

With glow-in-the-dark element on front cover.
