Junior Woodchucks Guidebook
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Junior Woodchucks Guidebook, or the Woodchuck book for short, is a fictional book in the Scrooge McDuck universe. The Woodchuck book helps Junior Woodchucks by containing literally all sorts of knowledge. Huey, Dewey and Louie frequently use their own copy to get themselves and their uncles Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck out of dangerous situations (see deus ex machina).
According to the cartoonist Keno Don Rosa, this book was written by the Guardians of the lost Library of Alexandria, compiling the essence of all the knowledge that was unique to the Library. It was later found by Cornelius Coot who gave the book to his son Clinton Coot who, in turn, was inspired to found The Junior Woodchucks as a continuation of the Guardians of the Library.
That guide was the inspiration for the "Junior Woodchucks Guidebook", a series of several Disney books with tips, advice, general culture, and curious facts about nature and life, released in Italy by Mondadori in seven volumes between 1969 and 1974, and later translated into several languages.
