Crawl, cling climb! You may have seen a raccoon scurry up a tree or across the road just before dark. Did you know that raccoons stay up at night playing, hunting, and eating when you go to sleep? From birth to first stripes and beyond, discover all that goes into being a raccoon in this charming picture book, the second in the Meet Your World series.
This playful and informative series invites you to take a closer look at the amazing animals that live right alongside you in rural, suburban, and urban landscapes across North America. Each audiobook will inspire you to act out animal actions that are not so different from your own habits. And robust backmatter offers even more facts and fun. From the animals’ families and foods to their environments and behaviors, let’s meet your world!

"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 raccoons—all while being educational! . . . This is truly a perfect blend of education and fun with the addition of adorable illustrations." —SLJ"Exceptionally adorable . . . Part of a series that spotlights familiar North American animals, the book deftly connects natural human children’s activities to raccoon behaviors without engaging in anthropomorphism. . . . Spare text on each page is accessible for emerging readers, and the full-color art’s soothing palette makes this ideal for a bedtime story. . . . Naturalistic and charming." —Kirkus
"The Meet Your World series, which opened with You Are a Honey Bee! and You Are a Raccoon! [and You Are a Robin!], 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." —Booklist Expand reviews
