Ringtail

Meet Ringtail, a spunky raccoon with an inclination for trouble. During one action-packed night she encounters the many different creatures who also inhabit her big-city ravine: a fat frog, seven downy ducks, a snapping turtle, and a great horned owl among them. Karen Patkau's brilliant collage illustrations and Patricia Sillers' catchy rhyming text make Ringtail and all the ravine creatures sparkle with life in this story of a raccoon's dusk-to-dawn search for fun -- and food. Young children will be captivated by this exciting peek into the hidden world of city animals. "Karen Patkau's bold illustrations capture the mystery and beauty of that enviroment...Each page vibrates with light, texture, and form, giving the story a sense of immediacy. That feeling is echoed in the words." -- Quill and Quire (Toronto)Sillers, Patricia is the author of 'Ringtail', published 1988 under ISBN 9780195405859 and ISBN 0195405854.
