Raccoons are naturally hilarious with their little masked faces and their habit of washing everything in sight, and this book leans into all the quirky stuff that makes them so entertaining while still teaching real science. It covers raccoons and their relatives like coatis and ringtails, so readers get a broader picture of the family tree. The short length means it's perfect for kids who want to learn something new without committing to a 300-page tome, and the 4th-grade reading level makes it accessible without talking down to anyone.
