REVIEWS AND PRAISE

 

“Lively animation enhances an already funny story.” -- ALSC/American Library Association

 

“The humor is effectively conveyed in this animated production which brings Scaredy’s personality and his lists to life, successfully evoking Melanie Watt’s cartoon illustrations. David deVries’s well-paced narration is complemented by lively but unobtrusive music and sound effects.” -- Maria Salvadore, School Library Journal
