Summary: Little lemur Twitchly Fidget is afraid of everything. He refuses to wash his fur because the shampoo bubbles might not rinse out. He's afraid to put on his sneakers because he might put them on the wrong feet. Worst of all, he's afraid to leave his house to join his friends. Then bossy Aunt Bridget arrives, and when she scrubs Twitchly's fur and puts his sneakers on his feet, Twitchly can't believe that nothing bad happens. Emboldened, he strides out to try all the things that he used to dread.

Personal Thoughts: I love this book! I have loved this book for years, but couldn’t remember the name, and I recently re-found this book!  This is a great story for helping little readers in overcoming fear of the unknown.  Super fun wording, awesome illustrations, and a cute message delivered by Aunt Bridget Fidget.
