My edition shares this ISBN, but a former cover like the audio versions. [bc:Rascal 3022096 Rascal Sterling North https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328036688l/3022096.SY75.jpg 952408]
Rascal is a raccoon who befriends a young Sterling North. Together with Sterling's indulgent father, the raccoon and boy traverse the wilds of Wisconsin, camp near lakes, and watch wild deer and mink. It's a small book that draws beautiful pictures of life in America during the latter part of World War I.
Loved this book as a kid, and love it now. There's nothing better than reading books about animal companions, and how more often than not it's better to let nature run its course.
