Rinny Raccoon
A children's story about friendship, compassion and learning why wild animals ultimately belong in the wild.
About Rinny Raccoon
A cute little raccoon gets lost and ends up with a family with three siblings and a dog. The children care for it and, little by little, become attached to it.
As the baby raccoon grows older, it begins to behave more like the wild animal it truly is. Eventually, the children must come to understand that the raccoon needs to return to the wild.
It is a difficult lesson for a child, but it is the right thing to do.
Many families have experienced a similar situation. Perhaps it was not a raccoon, but a turtle, duck or another wild animal. This simple story illustrates that keeping a wild animal as a plaything or family pet may not be in the animal's best interests.
Rinny Raccoon offers young readers a gentle lesson about compassion, responsibility and respect for wildlife.
