The conflict in the story was quite emotional &#8211; I remember the little girl feeling both mad and maybe sad,\u00a0and I&#8217;m pretty sure she also ultimately cared about the\u00a0racoon\/animal. The racoon\/animal may have also been injured or in trouble somehow. I liked the story, but it wasn&#8217;t the most bright or cheerful tale.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I think the little girl had straight or wavy black hair worn up in a ponytail. I also feel like she wore a skirt ending above her bare knees. The pictures were delicate, and &#8211; at least in some cases &#8211; had dark features or strong shadows. The color I remember most apart from the dark aspects is orange&#8230;which kind of overlaps with my memory of a fox and its reddish-orange fur.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a paperback book that I believe was bought new around 1980 &#8211; 1981.
