Great depiction of life in a Southern bottomland forested wetland (swamp)

My 3-year-old son was captivated by this story. I was, too, since I'm a swamp canoe guide. It's a pretty accurate depiction of that type of ecosystem. The boy liked it because all of the critters and because of the ending with the wayward raccoon....well, I'm not going to spoil it for you.
