Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

This was a fun book to read. We see Scaredy Squirrel getting ready for the holidays a bit too early at first. Naturally this time of year brings some familiar fears to the surface. They want everything to be perfect, but that might not end up happening. Yet as this story comes to a close they end up getting a wonderful gift from their friends.

Looking for a great way to start the holiday season? Check out Scaredy Squirrel Gets Festive.
I loved how creative Scaredy’s friends are, for example when they make a paper fireplace to cheer Scaredy up because he got scared of the fire. One of my favorite parts of these books are the FAQs at the end, they are a hilarious way to end a book.

I really was hoping that this book would be longer. Other than that this book was perfect. I loved this book so much I would highly suggest this book to other young readers who like humorous books.

Another fantastic book featuring Scaredy Squirrel! The chapters are short enough for young readers, and the story provides both laughs *and* lessons.

Loved it.

The Scaredy Squirrel books are so much fun to read to your kids. They are funny (and relatable) for both kids and adults. You can’t help but laugh as you read this book.
This was the best seasonal read to get us both ready for the upcoming holidays.

My daughter loves these books and this one didn't disappoint.

This book definitely covers all the bases as far as the holiday is concerned in fairly short easy to read chapters. It is all about friends and is pretty funny as well.

The format and appealing illustrations is perfect for young readers. My somewhat reluctant elementary school reader read this from start to finish. A good book to include in the holiday book collection to read each year with the kids.

Thank you to Random House Children's and Netgalley for providing me a copy of this ARC for my honest review.

Scaredy Squirrel cracks my kiddo up! I love adding some Christmas themed graphics novels to our collection and this one is cute + funny. This anxious squirrel and his friends are a great way to get into the Christmas spirit. Watching Scaredy over plan Christmas while his friends derail his plans, is a good reminder to go with the flow and always watch out for elves.

If you love Narwhal and Jelly or any of the other Scaredy Squirrel books, you will love Scaredy Squirrel Gets Festive!

In this new book of the Scaredy Squirrel series, Scaredy is trying to celebrate a perfect Christmas with his friends, but things don’t quite go as planned. I love how patient and respectful Scaredy’s friends are! There is a great lesson to be learned by the end of the story.

The illustrations capture the quirky and humorous tone of the story perfectly. This graphic novel is very interactive. Young readers will be entertained from beginning to end.

This one releases in just a few days, October 3, 2023!

Thank you Random House Graphic and @NetGalley for the gifted ebook ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book.
My children have loved this series for years. They we’re very excited to get a chance to read the next installment early and they were not disappointed.
Scaredy Squirrel is preparing for Christmas and leaves no list unmade in their quest for the perfect party.
The children enjoyed the addition of Squirrels friends in the book and the happy ending to the story.
We will for sure be continuing this series together!

Scaredy and his friends are back and getting ready for Christmas. Readers will not be surprised to see how many lists Scaredy has made to get ready for the holiday. His friends pitch in and problem solve when things are not perfect. I appreciate how they accept each other flaws and all. Scaredy may be afraid of almost everything but he shows how much he observes about his friends by choosing perfect gifts for each of them. Looking forward to the next nutty adventure.

I’m already a huge Scaredy Squirrel fan!! He is on a mission in this book – to get ready for Christmas!!! He plans and plots and decorates and shops and decorates – oh, and he covers the whole place with yummy greatness when the chocolate fountain blows up (but is that really a problem???) Scaredy Squirrel Gets Festive does NOT disappoint and I’m excited to share it with my little friends. Thanks to Random House Children’s and NetGalley for this eARC

Scaredy Squirrel will always be one of my favorite children's book franchises! The humor is for both the adult and the child reading this book. It was great to see Scaredy's take on the holidays (and who doesn't have some fear relating to the holidays at some point or another?!).

I read and reviewed an advanced copy of "Scaredy Squirrel Gets Festive". All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I adore this series. I have loved Scaredy Squirrel since he first hit the shelves. My students love him and his quirky personality. This book is perfect for this series. The martians make their appearance and he is up to his normal weird behavior. I really like seeing his friends involved.

Thank you to Random House Children's and NetGalley for the eARC.

Absolutely adorable addition to the Scardy Squirrel series. Whether you love Scaredy Squirrel or have never read this series, this is an absolute delight. Perfect for getting ready for Christmas time.

It's a "chapter book" in that it's slightly longer than the picture books, but it's the same reading style as the picture books, just a little longer. Will be adding to my library when it releases!

Moving onto graphic novels will only encourage more children to read! I love how this author keeps his “scaredy antics” that he uses in his picture books in this novel as well. Listing what is scary during the holiday season and having a plan of action is hilarious. This is a book that children with love, along with adults who are reading aloud with children!

Scaredy Squirrel is at it again, but this time he is preparing for Christmas with help from his friends that might not be as helpful as he'd like. Scaredy Squirrel Gets Festive is a gift for readers of all ages!

This book was a perfect combination of cute and funny to keep even the toughest reader's attention! The holiday theme is adorable, and my 7 year old loved reading this book! I will definitely be looking for other books by this author.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
This is #3=in the series. This will be a great book to give at Christmas.
Scaredy has a plan for everything. What could possibly go wrong?
Kids at our library love this format and series.
5 star

This was a cute graphic novel with almost slapstick comedy with the things Scaredy gets into. Young readers will enjoy and laugh. I enjoyed this book.

Scaredy Squirrel returns with his third Scaredy Nutty Adventures book. This has Scaredy and friends preparing for Christmas celebrations. Adventures include decorating with red and green, making a gingerbread house, wrapping presents etc. Scaredy Squirrel books are silly and fun. They are very popular in my elementary school which carries both the traditional picture books and this new format of longer graphic novels. (4.5 Stars)
