The story captures the real life adventures of a young boy and his pet raccoon. It is written in a friendly, humorous, and informal style, yet is incredibly informative. We have read it over and over to our kids. They enjoy the story so much that they don't realize that they are also learning.

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!
