I never thought one of my top books of 2022 would be about raccoons, BUT THEN I read this book! ?? Incredibly fun art. Laugh out loud rhymes. Excellently capturing the feelings of worry associated with raccoons! I've read REVENGE OF THE RACCOONS out loud to practically everyone - my coworkers, my friends, my partner, my cousins, my parents... EVERYONE! A bizarre must read.

This was such a cute book! I liked the rhyming aspect of it and I liked that they threw in there about how people built houses in the racoon's habitat. The artwork was adorable and I loved the fun colors throughout the book. I would definitely recommend this kids book.

I absolutely loved this. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and sunshiny. The book has an easy to say cadence that rhymes well, and altogether works. The raccoons are the narrator saying you the reader are why they wonder homes. They come to take out donuts and check out trees and scare cats. The reason they do this is because we destroyed their real homes. We log their forests and paved their grass and now they have no other place to go but our trash cans and our yard. This book is both fun but also a reminder that the animals had a home while we may think they’re a nuisance, they are just trying to live in their new environment. Kids will get and understand this message and help spread it around. This is a fun way to be reminded that the actions we take have consequences.
