Raccoon on His Own - Paperback

by Jim Arnosky (Author), Jim Arnosky (Illustrator)

When a baby raccoon is swept downstream in an abandoned canoe, he feels afraid. But soon he notices all kinds of things he has never seen before, and from the safety of his little boat, he begins to explore the world around him. Paralleling the exciting-and often frightening-experience of a child's first adventure away from home, Raccoon On His Own offers little ones a glimpse of being on their own for the very first time.
