Eddi, der kleine Waschbär, ist der Held der Geschichten. Das Umschlagfoto zeigt ihn in der ersten Geschichte, die über ihn erzählt wird. Jedes der kleinen Abenteuer wurde von der Zeichnerin Nancy Albani-Linge illustriert. Gerhard Falk hat seinen Waschbären nicht nur eine Stimme gegeben, sondern verpackte in ihre Dialoge hin und wieder auch kleine Lebensweisheiten. Autor Gerhard Falk hat nach seinen ersten drei Büchern nun ein Buch für Kinder und jung Gebliebene vorgelegt. Es eignet sich auch gut zum Vorlesen für die ganz Kleinen. Der besondere Reiz liegt darin, dass es diesen Campingplatz und die Waschbären wirklich gibt. Auch die Geschichten sind eng angelehnt an tatsächliche Ereignisse. Sie wurden über ein Jahr hinweg auf diesem DKV-Campingplatz Fürstental am Edersee geschrieben.
