Moonlight Madness

In his latest hilarious adventure, Hank meets Eddy the Rac, an orphan raccoon rescued by Slim. Despite the fact that cowdogs and coons don't make the most natural of buddies, Hank and Eddy must team up and act fast before "Moonlight Madness" takes over. An entertaining tale with a happy ending. Illustrated.

Grade 3-7-The first "Hank the Cowdog" book appeared in 1983 (Hank the Cowdog), but he's still going strong, and unlike many series, the quality continues to score consistently high. In this title, Hank has his hands full with a pet raccoon that tricks the Head of Ranch Security into setting him free with tales about a phony elevator and some singing cookies. Hank's own narration is the funniest part of the book and the series. He does his best to portray himself as brave and intelligent, but can't help letting readers know the truth about his escapades. The way he tries to put a good face on his disastrous efforts is still funny after more than 30 books. Chapter Title Award: A few priceless examples are "Freedom for the Cookies"; "A Happy Ending Except That Slim Got Caught Up a Tree"; and my personal favorite, "This Is Pretty Weird, So Hang On."
