This irresistible tale begs to be read aloud! It unfolds as a play with delightful characters whose traits bubble to the surface during the worst of times, revealing true colors — raccoon brothers who keep their Scout pact, find courage in the face of grave danger (though a weakness for sweet, sugary pies nearly derails their plan) and bravely see a mission through for the greater good; Chap, still grieving the death of his Grandfather, chooses bravery and perseverance when it seems all hope to protect the swamp is lost (although a rattlesnake lullaby proves quite useful); and Sonny Boy Beaucoup along with his client Jaeger Stitch take center stage, showing how greed can be just plain ugly. Wild-pig earth tremors, lightning flashes, and "blinkle" stars paint expressive mood pictures, colorfully punctuated with strokes of tall-tale whim and refreshing wisdom. A rich, delightful read.
