School for Bandits by Hannah Shaw

No niceness allowed...

Alfred A Knopf sent me a copy of this picture book for review (thank you).  It has been published so you can grab a copy at your local bookstore.

I guess I must just be a big kid because this story really tickled me.  Ralph is a good raccoon, which is bad.  Raccoons aren't good, they're bandits!

He's polite, clean and tidy and well behaved.  Such a disappointment for his parents. So they sent him to Bandit School, where he fails all his classes.

Any child who has felt like he/she didn't fit in well will enjoy this story.  It's fun story for everyone to read.  Why not get a copy and follow along on Ralph's journey towards "improvement"...

Happy reading.
