|summary=In this fifth outing, Scaredy Squirrel is planning a birthday party - for one. That way there can be no nasty surprises in the form of spiny porcupines, party-crashing Bigfoot or unfunny clownfish! But when Scaredy gets a card from a friend he decides that he might just have room for a guest after all.
I'm not sure this book is for everyone, certainly I'd hesitate to give it to the under 5's and on that basis I am struggling to recommend something similar in what I would consider to be a ''young persons first graphic novel'' style of kids' book like this one.
Personally, I prefer the rhyming verse kind of story – [[The Gruffalo]] and [[How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? by Jane Yolen]] are good examples and are top of the class in our house. And I've know I've said it before, but we like pretty much any Winnie the Witch adventure, though the latest [[Winnie Under the Sea by Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul|Winnie Under the Sea]] or [[The Misadventures of Winnie the Witch by Laura Owen and Korky Paul]] are terrific fun.
We also have a huge squishy soft spot for [[Can't You Sleep, Little Bear? by Martin Waddell and Barbara Firth]] because it's beautiful and you fall utterly in love with the Little Bear and totally feel for Big Bear and his attempts to get Little Bear to go to sleep.
Lastly, we at Bookbag would like to extend our thanks to the generous boys and girls at Catnip Publishing for sending us this copy to review. {{amazontext We also have a review of [[Scaredy Squirrel at Night by Melanie Watt|amazon=1846471346}} {{waterstonestext|waterstones=}}Scaredy Squirrel at Night]] by Melanie Watt.
