Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Raccoons morph from suburban menaces to cute critters on a mission, sauntering jauntily to the rhythm of Shaw's (Sheep in a Jeep) catchy verses. The masked band sets out on a moonlit "June night,/ Just-right-for-raccoon night" in search of a trashcan to topple and garbage to gobble. Thwarted by tight-fitting lids, they "crash cans,/ Mash and smash and bash cans," and strain to get at the yummy prize inside. In one standout spread, the three babies play one-sided tug-of-war with their mama's tail, helping her pull off a trash can's top. When the lid finally pops, the receptacle sails off down a hill, the raccoons in hot pursuit, and lands in a stream with a splash, scaring a bunch of bullfrogs off the page. But all is not lost: "Oh my whiskers!/ How delish!/ The can is full of flopping fish" and the family enjoys a trout dinner. Fine's (Piggie Pie!) painterly illustrations, in a lush nighttime palette of deep blues and greens, perfectly capture the mischief in the creatures' expressive faces (one baby raccoon even mimics the Home Alone star's famous gesture as the runaway can rolls downhill). Kids who fantasize about life after curfew will root for these determined creatures as they march to their own midnight music. Ages 3-7. (May) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
From The Critics
I have to admit that it took repeated readings of this picture book for me to be able to say, "I like it," but I did, and my six-year-old gets most of the credit. She absolutely loved Howard Fine's illustrated raccoons, noting that "they're so happy and they look like they've having a party all the time." The mischievous faces and pure "attitude" shown in the illustrations make up for the "uneven" text work. (I use uneven because some of the phrases and word choices in the beginning of the book don't work as effectively in pulling young readers in to the story.) However, by the time the raccoons are wrestling to get the lid off the garbage can-"The lid is on a little tight/We'll have to put up quite a fight/We pull/and pull/with all our might/But nothing gives until..." Readers will be cheering them on in their quest to find the perfect dinner. 2003, Henry Holt and Company, Ages 5 to 8.

    Rolliking Raccoon Tune!

    I loved Raccoon Tune on the very first reading. The illustrations of Howard Fine bring to life the moonlite story, can lids popping, water splashing! every lively step of the way! My grandaughters (3 & 7) loved it too so I purched a book for each grandchild, and one for my own bookshelf. Don't miss it!
