Remington Raccoon, was rocking and rolling, to the radio at the riverside campground where he lived. His ring-tail rotated round and round to the rhythm of the music as he played along, drumming on the tops of round garbage can lids. Rat-a-ratta, rat-a-tatta, rat-a-rat-rat-rat, ratta-tatta-rat. His relatives, Rocco, Rollie, Russet, and Rylie-Rose, enjoyed the show, relaxing back in the rhododendrons, eating the raisins, raspberries, radishes, and red rhubarb they had recycled from the rubbish pile. It was a rollicking show that woke up all the campers!

Yum yum yum in her bowl!
