From birth to first stripes and beyond, discover all that goes into being a raccoon in this charming picture book, the second in the Meet Your World series. This playful and informative series invites you to take a closer look at the amazing animals that live right alongside you in rural, suburban, and urban landscapes across North America.

K-Gr 4--Thompson has crafted a truly wonderful book that not only pulls readers in with a cute tale about animals but also incorporates activities that mimic the lives of raccoons--all while being educational! The book walks readers through the adventure that is growing up as a raccoon, from when it is born to adulthood. Along the way are examples of activities the raccoon might do at that stage of life alongside examples of kids behaving in a similar way. Included are facts about raccoons, why they are important, and of course, why it's equally important for kids to not interact with them. This is truly a perfect blend of education and fun with the addition of adorable illustrations. VERDICT All libraries will want to include this in their children's collections.--David Roberts
