Freddie is tired of his parade of babysitters - none of them seem to be what he needs. THe latest babysitter seems odd - but in a way that Freddie actually likes. 

You can already tell from the cover that Freddie’s babysitter is a trio of raccoons in a trenchcoat - no surprises. Kids will like that Freddie doesn’t seem to catch on to the raccoons for quite some time - even after the raccoons feed him garbage for dinner! More silly fun.
