Snitch the Fraccoon
Description

BOOK SIGNING!  Meet the author and illustrator for the new book, "The Adventures of Snitch the Fraccoon." From the makers of the Bag-O-Loot card game comes this delightful new children's book (the first in a series) where Snitch, a half fox/half raccoon, goes out on exciting adventures with his friends from Stumpy Village. Through the stories, children will gain valuable insights into generosity, courage, acceptance, rejection, friendship, bullies, honesty, trust, love, death, and other important character building lessons. The illustrations are lovingly hand drawn with beautiful backgrounds and characters. The words are written in melodic rhymes (think Dr. Seuss) that are fun to read and ear candy for anyone listening. What makes this book series extra special is that it comes with a cuddly plush toy in the likeness of Snitch the Fraccoon. Kids love to cuddle with the hero while they listen to the story. They also love playing our award-winning card game, Bag-O-Loot Junior, which features Snitch on the back of all the cards! Personalized, signed copies will be available to the first 500 customers. Ideal for children aged 5-10 years of age.
