Raccoon on His Own

(4) PS A curious raccoon climbs into an abandoned canoe and accidentally floats away from his family. He encounters a variety of swamp animals, both scary and interesting, before being reunited with his family downstream. The raccoon's simultaneous fear and curiosity at being on his own for the first time are expressed better in the endearing illustrations than in the somewhat slack telling.
