Scaredy Cat was a little black kitten as black as a Halloween night, as black as coal, as black as a deep dark hole. Poor Scaredy Cat was afraid of everything—even of the children who wanted to hold him. 

Everyone tried their best to be friends but the little black kitten would only hide until one day—what a surprise!—he became a happy, purring Scaredy Cat. The secret of his happiness all came about when the family went on a trip one day, leaving Scaredy Cat home alone. The exciting day is all told here with simple words and charming pictures.

Scaredy Cat is a delightful little creature young children will love as he peers out at them from under couches and beneath beds.
