Exploring the World of Raccoons

Description

A glimpse inside the daily life of nature’s masked bandits.Children find the
bandit-masked face and button nose of a raccoon irresistibly cute, and
catching a glimpse of one in a neighborhood tree never fails to excite.
Raccoons describes the natural history of these cousins of the panda bear and
explains how that heritage helps them thrive in cities as well as in fields
and woodlands. Color photographs of adults and kits in urban and natural
settings give readers the chance to look more closely at these elusive
creatures, and children will enjoy the amusing descriptions of the raccoon’s
antics and mischief. But Raccoons also shows youngsters why they shouldn’t
feed these brazen visitors and that, even though they share our cities and
towns, raccoons will always be wild animals. In the Exploring the World of…
series, Firefly Books is pleased to present an exciting new nature series
produced especially for young readers who are eager to learn more about the
wild animals they find especially appealing. The books are packed with facts
and offer outstanding value.Clear text in large type and vivid photographs
with explanatory captions describe the animals’ physical attributes, and
storylike narratives about their daily life — where they live, what they eat,
how they hunt, how they communicate, how they raise their young — present a
complete picture of each animal. Read more
