BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Lucky Racoon stays home by himself until he is big enough to join the family business – scavenging for food. When he is finally big enough, he gets a stomach ache when the humans yell at his family and chase them off every place. When he is sent off on his own, he finds there may be a different way to help his family.
A fine middle-level look at a young family member who sees things differently from everyone else. A positive message about the importance of listening to each other and changing the “traditional” way. The background human characters in the illustrations are a nice mix of representation.
