The Raccoons: Blast from the Past!
by Chris McGuire
Illustrated by Terry Cooper
“I’m coming to give you what you deserve!”
One fine day in the Evergreen Forest, Cyril Sneer gets a letter from his former business partner...
Yes, Karl Snarl is on his way to get even with Cyril! He’s mean. He’s greedy. He’s grumpy. And he has lovely handwriting (but that’s not strictly relevant). But, all Sneer's henchpigs know for sure is that Karl Snarl must be one seriously scary character, especially if Cyril’s terrified of him!
Time to man the defences! But will they be enough if Snarl huffs and puffs and blows their mansion down?
Oh, and Bert Raccoon intends to use a helicopter to deliver newspapers around the Evergreen Forest.
But nothing can go wrong with that, can it?
This new series of books has been specifically created to encourage parents to read along with their children. Each easy-read novel has seven chapters, one for each day of the week, and each chapter contains beautiful illustrations by Terry Cooper based on the original TV series’ artwork. Alongside this, the books feature QR codes which allow the reader to access additional interactive video and music content, bringing these classic stories back to life!
For children who grew up in the mid-’80s, early ’90s The Raccoons was required viewing. Mixing anarchic humour with great storytelling, this classic Canadian animation TV series focused on the exploits of Bert Raccoon, his best friend Cedric Sneer, Melissa and Ralph, Schaeffer the dog, and, of course, the dastardly pink aardvark, Cyril Sneer.
