Description

"Why Schaeffer, what big teeth you have! Why Bert, what big fibs you tell…"

There’s been a tornado in the Evergreen Forest! Schaeffer the sheepdog has gone wild! And there are gangsters at Cyril Sneer’s mansion!

Or maybe Bert Raccoon’s imagination is getting the better of him. Perhaps his quest to become the best (and only) news reporter in the forest means fiction sounds better than fact. It’s certainly not Sneer’s three Pig henchmen making the young Raccoon cry wolf. Nope, no one will believe Bert’s crazy tales anymore.

But Bert really does have a story: the biggest thing to ever hit the Evergreen Forest. Cyril intends to pave paradise and put up a parking lot.

This new series of books has been specifically created to encourage parents to read along with their children. Each easy-read novel has seven chapters, one for each day of the week, and each chapter contains beautiful illustrations by Terry Cooper based on the original TV series’ artwork. Alongside this, the books feature QR codes which allow the reader to access additional interactive video and music content, bringing these classic stories back to life!

For children who grew up in the mid-’80s, early ’90s The Raccoons was required viewing. Mixing anarchic humour with great storytelling, this classic Canadian animation TV series focused on the exploits of Bert Raccoon, his best friend Cedric Sneer, Melissa and Ralph, Schaeffer the dog, and, of course, the dastardly pink aardvark, Cyril Sneer.
