"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 raccoonsâall while being educational! . . . This is truly a perfect blend of education and fun with the addition of adorable illustrations." â<i>SLJ<br /><br /></i>"Exceptionally adorable . . . Part of a series that spotlights familiar North American animals, the book deftly connects natural human childrenâs activities to raccoon behaviors without engaging in anthropomorphism. . . . Spare text on each page is accessible for emerging readers, and the full-color artâs soothing palette makes this ideal for a bedtime story. . . . Naturalistic and charming." â<i>Kirkus<br /><br /></i>"The Meet Your World series, which opened with <i>You Are a Honey Bee!</i> and <i>You Are a Raccoon! </i>[and <i>You Are a Robin!</i>], offers young children information about animals that they might see in their yard or neighborhood park. The engaging, second-person narrative provides intriguing facts without becoming too detailed, while further information [appears] in the back matter." <i><i>âBooklist</i></i>
