Read this to my 6th graders because one of my kids is obsessed with raccoons. It was so much fun!

A fun book to share with kids.

I love pizza and I love raccoons, so when I saw this at work (at the library), I knew I needed to read it. It's a cute story about a raccoon who just wants to enjoy some pizza, but keeps getting chased away.
It was adorable and made me smile. And hungry for pizza.

This is an adorable and wonderfully creative book! Authors like Adam Rubin are perfect for writing Children's Books: not pandering life lessons in a poorly coded story, but imaginative romps that go on kooky tangents to engage kids' imaginations. I loved it!
funny lighthearted fast-paced

Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A

I cannot even begin to describe to you how perfect this book is!! It's the hilarious story of a racoon who just wants some pizza. Okay must cut this review short. I need to go by a copy of this now..and I want pizza...

Totally hilarious and a perfect read aloud. The illustrations perfectly match the narrator's humor.

Fun story! Love the illustrations!

This was such a cute story, although the drawings of the people were kind of scary. The raccoon was very cute and he just loves pizza. Raccoon wants to have pizza but people tend to shoo him away with brooms, so he has the idea to have a secret pizza party. He has to be quiet about it but "pizza smells gives me the happy screams". Well, that's ok, Raccoon, I think pizza smells give lots of people happy screams. He does end up with some pizza but there are mushroom on some of the slices. Yuck. I good book in spite of the mushrooms.

I love reading kids books that go out on inter-library loan. This was fantastic!
