Rascal
Rascal | Sterling North
3 posts | 13 read | 5 to read
A Newbery Honor Book Celebrating 50 years of a beloved classic! Nothing's surprising in the North household, not even Sterling's new pet raccoon. Rascal is only a baby when Sterling brings him home, but soon the two are best friends, doing everything together--until the spring day when everything suddenly changes. Rascal is a heartwarming boyhood memoir that continues to find its way into the hearts of readers fifty years later. This special anniversary edition includes the book's classic illustrations restored to their original splendor, as well as a letter from the author's daughter, and material from the illustrator's personal collection. "Everyone should knock off work, sit beneath the nearest tree, and enjoy Rascal from cover to cover."Chicago Tribune From the Trade Paperback edition.

In The Book Drunkard on Facebook we did a Blind Date With a Book exchange. I was the last to select a book to receive and since my book pick‘s owner was astute enough to recognize that I‘d already read the book she was offering, she promised me a surprise instead. Not only did she send a book I haven‘t read that looks like something I‘ll definitely enjoy, she threw in this bonus version of Alice, which I am pretty excited about!

DrexEdit Sterling North was from Wisconsin and Rascal is much beloved here. The publisher I work for put out a biography for kids on Sterling North. He had an interesting life and loved all kinds of animals! 6y

“I had been noticing that my little raccoon also carried patterns in his brain, as do the migrating birds and the honey-storing bees. I think I learned more about the orderly universe sitting in the garden picking beans than I ever did on a hard pew...”

#readjanuary I don't know of any books #setinmycity, Kenosha, Wisconsin. The best I could come up with is Rascal, which I read to my kids last year. It'a memoir; Sterling North grew up just two counties over. His home has been turned into a museum. Taking my girls there is on my bucket list for this summer. We loved Rascal. Great read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ @RealLifeReading
