We know by now that Scaredy Squirrel only feels safe when he's at home in his nut tree, with his defenses, his emergency kit and his back-up plans at the ready.
So even though the sun is shining and it's time for a vacation, Scaredy does not want to go to the beach --- that vast, frightening place where a squirrel could get stranded.
(Not to mention other hazards such as sea monsters, falling coconuts, seagulls, pirates and lobsters.
) Instead, Scaredy builds his own safe beach getaway under his nut tree, complete with germ-free inflatable pool, artificial beach scenery, a flashlight and a plastic flamingo.
Still, the lure of the genuine beach is strong --- even a dedicated homebody such as Scaredy can't resist it forever.
Can his back-up plans save him from its perils? Will his No.
65 sunscreen protect his delicate complexion?.
