Summary

"The Tale of Fatty Coon" by Arthur Scott Bailey is a charming children's story about a chubby raccoon named Fatty who lives near a swamp and loves to eat. Fatty's big appetite leads him on many comical escapades and into trouble with other forest animals and even Farmer Green. Constantly on the hunt for tasty treats like fish and turtle eggs, Fatty faces challenges such as dodging a hungry goshawk and outsmarting a farm dog. Even though he makes mistakes because of his greed and curiosity, Fatty's adventures teach him important lessons about family and the consequences of his actions, all while keeping the tone lighthearted and fun for young readers.
