Bookroo's summary

Scaredy Squirrel prefers camping on his couch, safe from bugs and zippers. But when his new TV needs power, he must venture into the woods. Can his meticulous plans protect him from the wild, or will his journey become a campfire tale of its own? Discover if Scaredy's fears will be conquered or confirmed in this quirky adventure.

From the publisher

Uncomfortable with the idea of camping outdoors, Scaredy Squirrel engages in a camping venture on his couch away from mosquitoes, skunks and zippers and hopes to watch a camping show on his new television, which requires him to hunt for an electrical outlet in the woods.
