The Infamous Stanleigh the Raccoon is back!

Yes, Stanleigh looks like all other raccoons; a mask on his face, rings on his tail, and a salt ‘n pepper bushy gray coat. But he did not act like a raccoon! Stanleigh was famous, but not just because he lived in a house with people. Not even because he could dial a phone, slide down banisters and open refrigerators on command (and sometimes not!). Not even because this delightful “little man” enjoyed his baths in the bathtub, sitting in his own special rocking chair, and delighting his fans (almost as much as his favorite peanut brittle candy). No, Stanleigh was famous because he was even more special than that.

Escorted by Ruth and George Cloven, Stanleigh the raccoon appeared at over 300 assemblies and visited with countless children and educators. Kids all over the United States enjoyed Stanleigh's first two books and his movie, The Dream Forest. The passion they all shared was this important theme: “Learn to live with wildlife and enjoy it – Don’t destroy it!”

A third book was in great demand while Stanleigh was touring but was not completed -- until now! For a limited time the Clovens have released all three of Stanleighs beautiful books on one DVD, professionally read and packed with all the delightful photographs that captured “The Stanley Era”. This is the first time in history that the academic film “The Dream Forest” has been available to the public! These Limited Edition products are offered directly for sale only through this site and with FREE Shipping for a limited time.

We knew from an early age that Stanleigh was a unique raccoon. He was a born clown who enjoyed people. When he was nine months old we felt his character would charm children and adults if we could capture his personality with photos. This was the beginning of the Stanleigh era. He loved to perform and large crowds didn’t deter him in the least. Most raccoons are wary of people and any unusual noise frightens them as well it should—often their survival depends on this. Stanleigh thrived on attention and cameras with their flash bulbs were just fine.

You will not find raccoons in zoos as they rarely can tolerate the constant pressure of being on display. Stanleigh was at ease in a gymnasium with five hundred children looking at him while he was in George’s arms. Book signing parties were enthralling to him; he sat on his pedestal and played with toys oblivious to his adoring fans. Life was just one grand ball to Stanleigh; he knew he was a star and he enjoyed that status to the fullest.

Male raccoons are loners, they mate and continue their solitary life. Female raccoons are excellent mothers who protect their young against all danger even if the odds are overwhelming. All raccoons are comfortable living alongside humans as a way of survival, however, their trust is limited as well it should be.

Pages and pages could be written about the intelligence of raccoons. They are not rodents, they are not pests, they are highly intelligent creatures who have learned to survive against terrible odds. Their memory is uncanny and we can testify to all of these statements as they have been an integral part of our lives.

Stanleigh was probably one in a thousand as he enjoyed complete interaction with people of all ages and other animals (he never met a dog he didn’t like).

He enjoyed J.R. on a nightly basis and would sit for an entire evening watching certain programs. He liked family shows and some comedies but if violent scenes appeared he left the room. He also enjoyed classical music; rock and roll disturbed him. He was a dearly beloved and interesting little creature who brought untold joy to our lives and to all who knew him.
