In Scaredy Squirrel at Night, the world's most lovable worrywart learns to appreciate a good night's sleep only after confronting his bad dreams — and some hungry intruders.

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? Scaredy Squirrel at Night tackles a fear everyone — and especially the young — can relate to. It's a bedtime story to make light of kids' fear of the dark and a fable for our sleep-deprived society.

      David deVries narrates the fourth Scaredy Squirrel adventure, recounting the schemes of the hero, who would rather stay awake than face nightmares with dragons, ghosts, and polka-dot monsters. DeVries's performance shifts dynamically and seamlessly where needed. In one moment he portrays the squeaky-voiced, overly dramatic squirrel who fears fairies and unicorns. Then, as the story's narrator, he whispers during a lullaby segment and becomes spirited after a brass band interval. DeVries's authoritative tone works well for the book's many how-to charts and diagrams. These are often laced with sarcasm, especially when Scaredy's extreme fatigue results in bizarre, ridiculous strategies. Even though deVries's reading is fluid, following along with the book is recommended. S.W. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
