Official synopsis Publisher
Ralph Raccoon “looks” perfectly normal. But he doesn’t act normal at all. He’s disturbingly well behaved, clean and tidy, shockingly polite, and he even brushes his teeth! Mr. and Mrs. Raccoon are worried–how will Ralph ever become a great raccoon bandit like Grandpa Cutlass or Uncle Whiskers? It’s time Ralph learned some bad manners . . . at Bandit School.
Ralph has no chance of winning the “Best Bandit in School” competition–he’s not very bandit-like at all. But sometimes good manners can be useful, and Ralph just might surprise everyone–including himself.
