Journey deep into the forest with the trickster Ring-Around-His-Tail Raccoon as your guide!
The animals in the forest are always getting into trouble playing tricks on each other.
Will they ever learn their lessons?
'Raccoon Tales' features three humorous vignettes inspired by the Native American just-so-stories of the Seneca tribe: How the Fox and the Raccoon Trick Each Other; Why the Blue Jay is Blue and the Gray Wolf Isn’t; and, Why the Bear has a Stumpy Tail.
