Frisson l'écureuil [French ed. of Scaredy Squirrel]

by Mélanie Watt (author & illustrator)

"Voici mon histoire en quelques mots. Je ne quitte jamais mon arbre. C'est beaucoup trop risqué ! Je pourrais être attaqué par des microbes, des orties ou des requins. Si un danser se présente, je suis prêt j'ai un parachute, un savon antiseptique, des pansements... Mais, un jour, ma vie bascule. Vais-je survivre à cette épreuve ? Pour le savoir, il faut lire ma folle aventure ! Attention cette histoire n'est pas pour les extraterrestres."

Scaredy Squirrel never leaves his nut tree. It's way too dangerous out there. He could encounter tarantulas, green Martians or killer bees. But in his tree, every day is the same and if danger comes along, he's well-prepared. Scaredy Squirrel's emergency kit includes antibacterial soap, Band-Aids and a parachute. Day after day he watches and waits, and waits and watches, until one day his worst nightmare comes true! Scaredy suddenly finds himself out of his tree, where germs, poison ivy and sharks lurk. But as Scaredy Squirrel leaps into the unknown, he discovers something really uplifting?

Condition: near fine.
