“The Raccoon” recap!

from Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Podcast · host Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Podcast

Here is it, folks. The one episode of Little House that makes Alison cry. We're recapping "The Raccoon", an emotional roller coaster of a horror story, which you either love or hate (or both!). After accidentally breaking Laura’s beloved china doll — a crime that clearly devastates Laura, and makes us ask, how the heck did she get a china doll?! — Mary panics and brings home a baby raccoon as an apology. Because when you break porcelain, the logical replacement is a wild animal.Charles is understandably hesitant (um, YEAH), but eventually agrees to a temporary raccoon adoption, which is prairie code for “this will absolutely end badly.” Laura is thrilled, the raccoon is chaos in fur form, and Pa quickly realizes that some gifts are not returnable.“The Raccoon” is a classic Little House lesson about guilt, good intentions, and why emotional peace offerings should not have teeth. Also rabies. Lots of rabies.Giddy up, because this one's a doozy...with teeth.Then, join us on Patreon where Pamela and Alison talk about their real horror experiences working with Animals. You won't want to miss it. (The horror! The horror!)Links and Resources:Haven’t signed up for Patreon yet?
