The Halloween Raccoon

Once an ordinary raccoon, CacklePatch was transformed by a magical mishap into a whimsical, mischievous pumpkin-eyed creature, roaming the world to spread the joy and creativity of Halloween all year long. He’s a quirky figure who celebrates individuality and welcomes those who dare to be different.

A dapper fellow who never leaves home without his jaunty top hat, CacklePatch seeks out unique souls and brings them a sense of belonging and adventure. His legend is one of fun and spooky escapades, designed to inspire imagination, inclusivity, and celebration of the weird and wonderful in everyone.

CacklePatch isn’t just a character—he represents a movement that encourages people to be authentic while maintaining a playful sense of mischief, no matter their age.

Enchanted Words from CacklePatch Fans: 5-Star Reviews

  • "A new tradition is born!!! It's the Halloween equivalent of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas!' and a book I look forward to reading over and over."

    Megan

  • "My kids absolutely adore this story. They are thoroughly amused by raccoons generally, now add in a dapper outfit and a sense of humour…they actually cackle nonstop. I personally enjoy reading it to them because it’s cleverly written. A win-win for all."

    Shilo

  • "We’re starting a new Halloween tradition because of this book (but I won’t spoil it here for you)!!! Calling all Halloween lovers! I’ve ALWAYS been envious of Christmas lovers who have Santa Claus… NOW, we HALLOWEEN LOVERS have CacklePatch (but way cooler and TONS of fun for the whole family)!"

    Shelly

  • "Super cute Halloween story. My daughter liked it so much we ordered one to share with our school library!"

    Ness

  • "The best part of all is the wonderful and rich vocabulary words! In fact, I've convinced my 10 year old that we can read this book each night for 2 weeks as there are definitely at least 10 strong vocabulary words he can use for his assignments, AND he can practice his "Readers' Theater" voice and inflection. Next endeavor is to convince his teacher to use it in her lesson plan!!!"

    Megan

  • "CacklePatch is the ultimate Halloween hero we didn’t know we needed! This book made me embrace my inner weirdness and left me craving more of his mischievous adventures. It’s like stepping into a portal of fun, fantasy, and a little chaos—just the way I like it!"

    David
