Everyone needs a little encouragement from time to time, and that's exactly what young hearts will find in this tale of Carlin, a timid racoon, who is skittish about everything - trying new things, sounds in the night, and even his own shadow.

Fortunately, Carlin has a good friend, Zack, who takes the cowering creature to Big Bear, "the bravest animal in all the land." Big Bear tells Carlin that the soup he is preparing, Bravery Soup, will banish all fears. Problem is, one extremely important ingredient is missing and Carlin must go after it.

Poor shuddering Carlin, he "must go alone through the Forbidden Forest to Skulk Mountain," and then into a cave in which a box is hidden. With knees shaking and lips trembling Carlin sets out.

The little fellow learns many important lessons along the way, and so will all who read this reassuring tale.

This book is really good. Buy it. It's about a raccoon that figures out how to be brave while he goes on a journey to find bravery.

This is a wonderful book, my husband, 3 yr. old daughter & I all love it. It's just around the right length & amount of text for her age, not too little words/story like a baby book, but not too long like, say, the original Winnie the Pooh, or Green Eggs and Ham. Cute story, with an actual story line and arc of the main character. Good characters, nice illustrations, and at the end a nice moral, "It's not what's inside the box that makes you brave, it's what's inside of you." - without sounding preachy or goody-goody. We originally borrowed it from our local library and bought our own copy because we liked it so much. A winner - I recommend it!
