Albert's Raccoon by Karen Wallace
Albert's new pet, Rocky the raccoon, can't resist interfering with anything mechanical. He turns the toaster into a spaghetti machine, and the washing-machine into a scrambled-egg maker. Albert's parents are not impressed - the raccoon must go! Then Albert smuggles Rocky into his father's sweet factory - on the very day Mr Caramel Chew, owner of the world's largest chain of sweetshops, is coming on an inspection. The raccoon gets into the control room, and suddenly the machines are making peppermint lizards and sugary green frogs instead of gobstoppers and toffees. Albert and his father are horrified...but Mr Caramel Chew loves them, and orders a million of each.
