The Little Raccoon Finds New Friends

The third volume of the successful children’s series

A story to be read aloud to children aged two and over

Wonderfully illustrated

How nice it is to share - that is at the heart of the Little Raccoon’s new adventure. Lea Käßmann tells the story of the Little Raccoon who helps a small mouse store provisions for the winter. The pair become friends. Suitable for reading aloud to children aged two and over to playfully give them an understanding of sharing and helpfulness. Enchantingly illustrated by Jana Walczyk. The autumn leaves rustle. All around animals are nibbling and chomping while birds are singing. The animals of the forest are getting ready for winter and are industriously storing provisions. For when the first snow lies and the ground is frozen, there will only be a small amount of food to be found. Even the Little Raccoon has started looking. Then he hears a sad squeak and discovers a mouse under a bush. She is completely desperate because she keeps getting chased away by the other animals and so she has no chance of collecting her own provisions. The Little Raccoon is happy to help and the pair of them make their way to secret feeding grounds in the forest.
