Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a raccoon, foraging in neighborhoods for food once all the people have gone to bed? This rhyming poem, narrated by the raccoons and split up into its separate stanzas, explores with a family of raccoons on their nightly expedition. They find a trash can that's hard to open, and when they finally do manage to pry the lid off as a team, it starts rolling away from them, down a hill. They chase after it, dreaming of all the treats it must contain,...more
This book could be read to Kindergarten students. It could be read by students grades 2-3. Raccoon Tune is about a family of raccoons who prowl the neighborhood looking for food. At the end, they find a trout (type of fish) to eat for their supper. I think young students would enjoy hearing the rhyming words.
I don't know why, but Emily loves this book (maybe the rhyming pattern?), but she makes excited noises and kicks around every time I read it to her. I do think the rhymes are fun.

Cute little story in rhyme
This was a cute book. It is about what raccoons do at night. I liked that the story rhymed.
