Description

Rickie the Raccoon believes that a world full of rubbish would be great - he would never be hungry again.  It falls to his friend, Carmen the Cat, to teach him the error of his thinking and the importance of recycling.  The book also includes a useful resource page to get you and your children saving energy and protecting the environment.

Canadian author, Giovanna Lagana is better known as a horror writer but penned this book for her children. She found UK artist, Angela Cater, via the internet and asked if she would be interested in illustrating a children's book and from there, an international partnership was born. Originally published as an Ebook, the story reached the finals of the Eppie awards in 2007.
