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. Why should I read it?
