I love the writing of Farley Mowat, especially his books of life when he was young and enjoyed a great deal of freedom and play with animals. Now, I come across Rascal by Sterling North. Rascal is a raccoon and if you need a joyful treat, this is the book for you. Sterling builds a canoe in his living room and sleeps with his pet raccoon. Balancing his life of freedom is knowing his brother is in Europe fighting in WWI. It is a book on peace as well as love of nature and animals.
