Raccoons are curious, playful, and sneaky. Some call them "masked bandits" because they like to steal food from unsuspecting farmers, and sometimes from your trashcans while you sleep. Their sneaky skills have allowed raccoons to flourish, long after Europeans arrived in North America, even though many other animals struggle to survive. Readers will be excited to learn all about raccoon families, habitats, homes, and how they stay alive in the wild.
