Why read it?
1 author picked Rascal as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a charming book that I treasured when I was a young reader.
The narrator/author is telling a true story from his childhood about adopting a wild raccoon he named Rascal. It harkens back to a simpler time [also a little warning, he and a friend take the baby raccoons from their nest, which is not cool these days!].
The reader gets to see how smart and mischievous Rascal is and all the adventures the two have together.
From Deb's list on humans bonding with wild animals.
