When a baby raccoon is swept downstream in an abandoned canoe, he feels
afraid. But soon he notices all kinds of things he has never seen
before, and from the safety of his little boat, he begins to explore the
world around him. Paralleling the exciting-and often
frightening-experience of a child's first adventure away from home,
Raccoon on His Own offers little ones a glimpse of being on their own
for the very first time.
