Rascal's Trip

Rascal's Trip

Filled with cute, colorful, watercolor illustrations, Rascal's Trip tells the story of an adventurous little raccoon named Rascal. During an exploration of a ravine near his home, Rascal encounters some challenges that he has to work through. During his adventure he meets some new friends, including Jasper, a very quick little rabbit, and Ollie the farm dog. Through it all, Rascal learns valuable lessons about character. Included in this engaging story are "Things to Think About" that give parents the opportunity to help children make practical application of the lessons in the story. A glossary at the end of the book explains words that enlarge the child's expanding vocabulary.

General Recommendation

As a former teacher who is interested in helping children develop the capacity to make good life choices, I recommend the Bandana Acres series by Kathy J. Perry as a helpful resource to parents. The books are delightfully illustrated and promote good character through fun and friendly animal characters who learn important life lessons. Read the books together and open a dialogue about making choices by going over the questions in the "Things to Think About" section. The time invested in discussing character and using your core values to make good decisions is time well spent.
