Dewey Bob Crockett

A sweet raccoon character stars in this endearing tale of unexpected friendship from the creator of the bestselling Skippyjon Jones

Dewey Bob Crockett is a durn cute raccoon who lives by himself in a house filled to the brim with the wonderful objects he collects. Buttons, wheels, furniture and bric-a-brac adorn his cozy quarters and keep him busy as he finds and fixes, turning trash into treasures. But there's something missing from Dewey's collections -- a friend! He tries gathering up some critters and bringing them home in his shopping cart, but that doesn't work out so well. In the end, a friend does come Dewey's way, and, with a little DIY help from this clever raccoon, returns again and again.

Combining art and heart with storytelling genius and a lilting twang, Judy Schachner's tale of unexpected friendship will delight readers young and old.
