Rosalba Raccoon and Other Stories

by David A Schaeffer

Overview

Follow Rosalba Raccoon and her gluttonous rabble as they feast on a garden until they are interrupted by the owner and his rifle. Meet Tom Turkey, the bully of the farmyard, who delights in picking on his fellow farm animals but makes the mistake of targeting a more beastly animal than him. And finally, explore the wonders and mysteries of a night in the forest with a young cloud curious about the world below.

With delightful and lyrical rhyming prose, David A. Schaeffer explores the rural countryside in homage to classic fables.
