libscote's review against another edition

I liked the story well enough, but I was thrown by how Melissa Sweet-y the illustrations were. I'm going to have to go back and look to see if this is new for Schachner, or something she tried for the book. Just threw me out of the book every time I noticed that the handwriting looked the same.

So sweet. I love how she portrays real life raccon tendencies in a cartoon way.

This was adorable! Lots of text though, so listeners with short attention spans might struggle to sit through it.

Freaking adorable with collaged illustration, fantastic dialect, and the world's cutest friendship!

Just didn't get into it, and I don't think my students would either. Also didn't care for all of the "yer"s instead of "your"s, and that sort of thing.

This story will tug at your heart strings. It’s a little long for story time but the right length for bedtime. Dewey is a raccoon who likes to collect things. But when his pants pocket no longer fits, he sets out in search of a new home, and new friends. Join Dewey on his adventure, and see if you don't want to sing and dance along.

This is a story about a raccoon who collects all sorts of things, but then decides that things are no good if you don't have anyone to share them with. He decides to collect friends forcibly, but then realizes that in order to have a friend, you need to be a friend. Adorable book. The hill-billy kind of narration got a little annoying, but a raccoon with a kitten friend is cute enough to overcome that annoyance.
