Books with title RACCOON

What is life like for a group of orphaned raccoon siblings, born in the attic of a home, as they experience life at a raccoon rehabilitation center in California? This photo‑packed series explores the stories and science behind animal sanctuaries, including all of the ups and downs that go along with caring for wild raccoons away from their natural element. Includes full‑color photos, graphics, and maps. At WildCare in San Rafael, California, many wild animals are brought in every day – skunks, birds, opossums, squirrels, and more – including raccoons. Four baby raccoons are put into the hands of WildCare staff, specifically volunteer Shelley. The kits need feedings, medicine, burpings, and even help going to the bathroom. The kits are not allowed to spend any time with other humans – they can’t be used to humans once they are returned to the wilds of suburbia. A steady process involving enrichment, exercise, outdoor exposure– and more than you’ll ever think you’ll know about raccoons and other city wildlife – fills the pages of Raccoon Rescue.

Famed for their masked faces and intelligence, raccoons are omnivores and happily scavenge rotting meats, fruits, or vegetables. They will steal pet food and break into garbage cans, too. They have many disgusting food habits, and yet these animals are well known for washing their dinners. This edition features intriguing sidebars and loads of life science data for young zoologists to explore, all while learning about one of natures most successful scavengers.

When a human child kidnaps their baby sister Renae to keep as a pet, the only thing raccoon siblings Roxy and Rufus want is to get Renae back to their den where she belongs. Will the lessons their Mama has taught them be enough to guide them on their dangerous rescue mission? The first in the Living Wild Side by Side series, Raccoon Rescue is an illustrated chapter book that shows how similar wildlife families really can be to human families. Raccoon Rescue teaches empathy, teamwork, and tolerance and will be appreciated by fans of Kallie George’s Heartwood Hotel series and Ben M. Bagglio’s Animal Ark series. Using curriculum enhancements and extension activities that adhere to US Common Core standards for Grades 2 and 3, Raccoon Rescue -- printed in a dyslexia-friendly font -- is easy for teachers or homeschoolers to implement as part of literature, science, or social studies courses.
