Rascal
The child I had
"test" this book for me really envied Sterling North, the lucky boy in
this story who had a menagerie of animals residing in his living room,
along with a half-built canoe. The delightful story of Sterling,
his "best" friend Rascal, a mischievous young raccoon, and a hard
decision which must be made.

I read this book
many times as a child. To this day, whenever I go to a museum, I
imagine Claudia hiding under a piece of furniture or splashing in the
fountain. Clever Claudia and her brother Jamie take up residence
in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Soon they are involved in
figuring out if a mysterious sculpture is actually a Michelangelo.
Can they get the secret from Mrs. Basil Frankweiler?
