Coastside Critter Capers Jim Jenkins

This is a lighthearted look at Esmeralda Raccoon and her triplets, Meeny, Miney and Moe as they journey along the California coastline north of Half Moon Bay. An unfortunate incident caused Esmeralda's husband Ruben (the Papa of the triplets) to be relocated. This left her alone to care for the youngsters who seemed to attract trouble wherever they went. Finding it difficult to cope with the rambunctious trio alone, Esmeralda felt she needed help from their Papa. For this reason the little raccoon family set out in search of their Papa. As they travel along a route that roughly follows California Highway 1 the triplets have many experiences and adventures. Their search takes them to places at the ocean shore as well as to places in communities and dwellings just a bit inland. This is their story.
