Scaredy Squirrel at Night by Melanie Watt

From chapters.ca:
Scaredy never sleeps - sleep might mean bad dreams about dragons, ghosts, vampire bats and polka- dot monsters. Our wide- eyed hero has a plan: stay awake all night, every night. Between counting stars, playing cymbals and making scrapbooks, he does a good job of avoiding dreamland. With exhaustion taking its toll, Scaredy comes face- to- face with an alarming horoscope prediction: All his dreams are about to come true! He must prepare for the worst and his Bad Dream Action Plan includes a fire extinguisher to snuff out dragons and a fan to blast away ghosts. But when disaster strikes, will Scaredy survive this ordeal? Will he thank his lucky stars? Will he find sweet dreams? Scaredy Squirrel at Night tackles a fear everyone - and especially the young - can relate to. It's a bedtime story to make light of kids' fear of the dark and a fable for our sleep- deprived society.
