Customer Reviews

Fun book

We are very selective about the books we purchase for our kids. If I'm going to be reading a book over and over, it has to be entertaining. This one made the cut.

Raccoon Tune

My 2 year old loves this book as well as I. Fun to read over and over again.

With whimsical drawings and trash can antics

Howard Fine illustrates an engaging and zany story of a family of raccoons by Nancy Shaw. The raccon family prowl the neighborhood making a ruckus until they find just the right dinner dish. The whimsical drawings and trash can antics of the raccoons will delight a wide audience and Raccoon Tune is a very highly recommended pick.

What a giggle!

Being a fan of "Sheep In A Jeep" and all its sequels, I waited impatiently for "Raccoon Tune". It was well worth the wait! I read this one often as a bedtime story and my children (aged 10 and 6) are giggling every time. Of course Mom is right there in the thick of it too! The illustrations really make this book! I'll use this one at the Nature Center where I work with my Preschool Storytime crowd - they'll love it!
