I Am Reading with CD: Albert's Raccoon - Softcover

Run for cover - there's a raccoon loose in the sweet factory! Albert's new pet, Rocky the raccoon, can't resist interfering with anything mechanical. He turns the toaster into a spaghetti machine, and the washing-machine into a scrambled-egg maker. Albert's parents are not impressed - the raccoon must go! Then Albert smuggles Rocky into his father's sweet factory - on the very day Mr Caramel Chew, owner of the world's largest chain of sweetshops, is coming on an inspection . . .
