This novel should be required reading in middle school literature.             The Camelid Companion12 reviews Marty McGee Bennett Raccoon Press, 2001 An awesome book! I started out knowing very little about Camelids but have expanded my knowledge through this book! Marty is an excellent writer and has made my thirst for knowledge even greater.

A must-read for anyone interested in llamas or alpacas.             Raccoons and Ripe Corn (Reading Rainbow Book)3 reviews HarperTrophy, 1991 Beautiful!

I great insight into a very interesting Group of independent Animals. The Pictures were great             Raccoon On His Own (Picture Puffins)1 review Puffin, 2003 Great depiction of life in a Southern bottomland forested wetland (swamp) My 3-year-old son was captivated by this story. I was, too, since I'm a swamp canoe guide. It's a pretty accurate depiction of that type of ecosystem. The boy liked it because all of the critters and because of the ending with the wayward raccoon....well, I'm not going to spoil it for you.             Adam Raccoon at Forever Falls (Parables for Kids)2 reviews Glen Keane Chariot Family Pub, 1987 Great story & illustrations! My 3-year old son LOVES this book. My husband reads it to him multiple times every night at bedtime, at his request. It has a great lesson & the illustrations are wonderful. Adam is certainly a character that little people can relate to.             The Searcher and O Tree1 review Charlesbridge Publishing, 2007 The Searcher and Old Tree McPhail, David. The Searcher and Old Tree. Charlesbridge. 2008. This lovely book opens with a picture of a raccoon lying asleep in a tree. On the title page, as the moon arises, raccoon stretches and climbs carefully down the tree trunk. A series of vignettes shows raccoon tiptoeing toward a garbage can, diving in, and surfacing with an opened can of food; these opening pages are without ...             The Raccoon on the Moon (Start to Read! Trade Edition Ser.)1 review Barbara Gregorich, Bruce Witty School Zone Publishing Company, 1993 A good begin-to-read book. The Raccoon on the moon was great. It was the first book I ever read. Its kind of stupid for someone of my age to say this. I really looked up at the moon for a while, but I never saw a coon. Maybe you will.             Hunter and Stripe and the Soccer Showdown3 reviews Laura Malone Elliott Katherine Tegen Books, 2005 HUNTER AND STRIPE AND THE SOCCER SHOWDOWN Scores Big in This Household! Laura Elliott and Lynn Munsinger are an unbelievable team. Both HUNTER AND STRIPE books are illustrated boldly and beautifully, and each is superbly written. Laura Malone Elliott has no peer when it comes to creating meaningful fiction for youngsters (ages 4 to 8) and intermediate readers (teens). My understanding is that Ms. Malone was an outstanding writer for WASHINGTONIAN magazine for ...             Raccoon Tune4 reviews Nancy Shaw Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2003 With whimsical drawings and trash can antics Howard Fine illustrates an engaging and zany story of a family of raccoons by Nancy Shaw.

Burgess Dover Publications, 1995 This series brings back fond memories of when I was young This is one of the books in the "Old Mother West Wind" series. It's all about the adventures of various woodland animals, and each book is focused on a specific woodland friend. While these books will not tickle the fancy of an older reader, the young-at-heart love them. Rereading this book brought back many memories of reading this series when I was much younger. I recommend this book to any ...             Raccoons: A Natural History2 reviews Zeveloff Si Smithsonian, 2002 Excellent for natural history buff/environmentalist, but... This book fulfills its promise to provide information for those among us wanting to know as much as possible about the bandit. The only shortcoming is the sparcity of photos and the absence of even a single color print. I blame not the author for his writing is impeccable. Still, this book is well worth the money!              search for books accelerated, adventures, alpacas, camelid, chester, children, classics, companion, edition, forever, goodbye, history, kissing, library, llamas, metaphor, natural, newbery, parables, picture, program, puffins, raccoon, raccoons, rainbow, reading, searcher, showdown, special, switcheroo books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
