WAUKEGAN, Ill., July 20, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Taking care of each other is truly one of the most essential acts of our lives and nobody can become totally isolated from the world. Such things are true with animals. A fantastic adventure about animals is coming to a bookshelf near you as Xlibris proudly releases The Critters of Forest City, the compelling new book from author Jeffrey Interiano.
Set in a North American forest, this book features a touching story about two young raccoons, named Rueben and Simeon, who were taken in by a family during the harsh winter. When springtime arrives, they are released back into the wild where they begin their quest to find their long lost mother and their other siblings. Along the way, Rueben and Simeon make friends with other critters in the forest and soon enough they combine their talents and efforts to overcome the threat of predators. Facing greats odds from their enemies, will the raccoon brothers be able to survive and find their family? Only time can tell.
The Critters of Forest City clearly depicts the aspect of taking care of each other, the act of uniting for a common cause and most importantly the essence of having family. It is a morally-driven story that deals with trials and tribulations and readers will discover that the experiences of Rueben and Simeon are actually relevant to their own. Furthermore, what makes this book unique is the attention it gives to the detail of the forest animals and their respective lives, concerns and situations.
