Editorial Reviews
Product Description This tale is based on a true story about an unusual friendship that evolves between a friendly raccoon and a young girl who is longing for a summer playmate. The author weaves an exciting tale about the adventures the girl and the raccoon share and how they manage to involve the girl's entire family in thier escapades. The adventures described are sometimes hilarious, sometimes alarming -- but always endearing. A tender ending to this delightful story should strike a chord not only in the hearts of children, but in adults as well.

Delightful! Rating (5) Date: 2000-11-07 What a wonderful story! Emily's adventures with Smokey are both chaotic and humorous. The relationship that develops between Emily and Smokey is very sweet and touching. The illustrations are lovely. Just as I have enjoyed sharing this book with my own children, I will look forward to sharing it with my future grandchildren!

"Smokey" the Raccoon Rating (5) Date: 2000-10-25 This is a wonderful story that leaves one recalling their own memories of chidhood days and puts a smile on your face thinking about how much fun it must have been to have such a uniquely different friend. I thought the writer did an excellent job of drawing the reader right into the experience as well as describing the friendship with such love and compassion. I have 3 boys and they love to hear about Smokey and all the mischief he created! This is an enjoyable story for any age and I just wish I could say I had the experiences that Emily had! I look forward to reading more books by this author!

Smokey the Racoon Rating (5) Date: 2000-10-07 Everyone should have a copy of Smokey the Racoon in their home. It's a beautifully illustrated true story of a young girl and her pet racoon, Smokey, and Smokey gets into enough trouble to involve the whole family! I'm a grandmother, and I truly enjoyed reading about Smokey's antics to my granddaughter. My favorite part of the story is the telling of Smokey's fall into the mother's bathwater, and the trouble that he gets into as a result of that will give everyone a good laugh. My granddaughter and I had many hearty chuckles as I read and she listened to the story, and she also has her own favorite antic.
