COPY ISBN
Toddler-PreS–Like City, this “Raccoon Rambles” board book once again invites toddlers and preschoolers to join the small, gray critter to explore a familiar environment (this time, home) as if part of an exciting expedition. The raccoon never fails in a cheerful exploration of, for example, eating a soft-boiled egg with toast, changing from pajamas to play clothes, “Swish! Swash!” making a painting, reading to animal friends in a tent, or stretching out at bedtime. The use of a circular map at the end reminds onlookers of all the activities they have just witnessed.
VERDICT These books charm, and this one is no exception. Purchase all or one by one as budgets allow.
