Rickety's Sticky Paws

Meet Rickety: The Messiest, Stickiest Raccoon in Town!

Rickety the Raccoon has a simple rule: Why wash it if you're just going to eat it?

Known as the King of the Alley, Rickety loves nothing more than sticky soda cans, gooey marshmallows, and sugary sludge. But when he discovers a shattered jar of Mega-Sticky Strawberry Jam, he dives in paws-first without a second thought. It tastes delicious, but it creates a very sticky problem.

Refusing to wash his paws because he wants to "save the flavor," Rickety soon learns that being sticky comes with a price. First, it's just a few crunchy leaves. Then a candy wrapper. Then a plastic spoon. Before long, Rickety is covered in the neighborhood's garbage-looking like a "punk-rock cactus"-and finds himself glued to the side of a dumpster while his friends enjoy a feast of croissants!

Rickety's Sticky Paws is a hilarious and heartwarming tale about the consequences of being too messy and the freedom that comes with being clean.

• Laugh-Out-Loud Fun: Kids will giggle at Rickety's escalating mess as he collects everything from feathers to newspapers on his fur.
• A Gentle Lesson on Hygiene: A perfect, non-preachy way to show children why washing hands (and bath time!) is actually a good idea.
• Relatable Character: Every child who has ever tried to avoid the sink will see a bit of themselves in Rickety.

Will Rickety stay stuck forever as a dumpster decoration, or will a sudden rainstorm teach him the joy of being clean? Scroll up and grab your copy today to find out!
