"Hey mom, I wish there was another one!" -- so said my nine-year-old daughter with a happy sigh when we reached the end of this book. She loves books about talking animals and begged often for "just one more" chapter of this book about a family of "Upright" raccoons. My 7 and 9 yo girls both enjoyed following the adventures of Methuselah's family in the 2 books by Mary Elizabeth Edgren. We do wish she had written more. Good Christian fiction, fun to read aloud. The pictures were perfect for the text. Fun read.
