The cover has bright colours and shows the blue raccoon sitting in a large brown chair with a red bucket of bright flowers on either side of the chair. Behind the raccoon are yellow curtains and at their feet is grass and a path leading to the chair.

It is in black ink on a white background. The person has a very big head on top of a much smaller stick figure body. The person's eyes are large and protrude from the side of the head. The eyes have pinpoint pupils. The person has an animated look on their face with a small round open mouth and eyebrows elevated from the top of the head. Freckles are spread across the cheeks, either side of a long nose. Three short pieces of straight hair are sticking up from the middle of the head. The initials EH are written in the bottom right-hand corner.

Roxy the Raccoon

Find it on Amazon

By Alice Reeves

The message of the book is to include everyone

A yellow background orange squarish shapes with text, stuck on with tape. Simple stars, squiggles and a pencil are dotted around. The cover of Roxy the Raccoon sits top-left. Text reads: "Elijah's review of Roxy the Raccoon. It is about: Roxy the Raccoon felt excluded because there were some things she couldn't do due to being in a wheelchair. I felt: BEGINNING – sad face, MIDDLE – smiling face, END – cheeky face. My favourite character is Brad the Beaver, because he was nice and he was the first friend to include Roxy. RANDOM STUFF - The book has 48 pages and very colourful and engaging pictures. How everyone helped - Sammy the Squirrel and Cherry the Chipmunk are the other characters that helped Roxy to feel included. Sammy helped Roxy to join in a ball game and Cherry helped Roxy up to the top of a tree to see the sunset. I recommend this book for people from age 4 to 11. 4/5 stars
