About the Book
"Robinson the raccoon loves to collect things--big and small. His collection is amazing. One day he collects a shell that turns out to be Rosie the snail!

Robinson soon realizes that the best things to hold on to aren't always things--instead, experiences with friends will last a lifetime"--Book Synopsis
