Hunter's Best Friend Cover



Laura Malone Elliott makes a return visit to the Fairfax Network to highlight the world of Hunter and Stripe, best friend raccoons who like to do everything together. But what happens when Stripe comes to school in a mischief-making mood and Hunter doesn't want to follow along? Or the time soccer competition between the two furry pals appears to drive them apart?

Laura Elliott and Lynn Munsinger are the creators of the popular Hunter's Best Friend at School, winner of the Gold Oppenheim Award and IRA/CBC Children's Choice and recipient of the Society of Illustrators Original Art Award.

During this live program, students are invited to call in to talk to the author about her latest books, the writing process, becoming a writer—whatever is on their minds. (See Preparing for the Program)
