A Spring 2019 Junior Library Guild Selection! "A community of raccoons is happy catching their own food, but one dreams of something more gourmet." - Kirkus Reviews Muddy the raccoon loves leftovers--and he likes to eat them on plates. "Our son's a picky eater," his parents say. When Muddy gets caught, the oldest, wisest raccoon insists he make amends. But when all 27 raccoons enter the restaurant to return Muddy's stolen plates, what happens next is not what anyone expects. Mischievous Muddy will steal your heart! Praise for The Camel in the Sun (Griffin Ondaatje's and Linda Wolfsgruber) "A tender story, eloquently rendered."-- Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
A lesson in empathy--for animals but also in general--delivered at a pace as stately as a camel's.
--Kirkus Reviews
This will appeal to many ages, both as a peek into another culture and as an engaging story about a creature that finally gets the empathy it deserves.
--Booklist
