Raccoons For Kids

A warm, engaging, friendly narrative written in first person. The author tells about his time as a boy when he had a pet raccoon. Written with a humorous, informal style, the story includes a lot of information on racoons. Beautiful photographs and humorous illustrations. The reason I didn't give this book a 5 star rating is because page 7 seems to be missing some information-the story doesn't go into how the author found the orphaned raccoon or how they became friends. One sentence says "a little orphan came to my house for a visit" and next it says "From her perch in my pocket, she peered out over a pointed snout . . ." What happens in between those two events? Otherwise this is a fab book!
