You'd imagine a veterinarian living in rural Iowa would lead an only semi-exciting life of small animal and farm animal work. Perhaps, at best, she could hope for a few interesting stories worthy of a place in a James Herriot book. But stereotypes be damned, as far as Jennifer Doll DVM is concerned.
The word raccoon is drawn from the Native American Algonquian language. Their term arakun roughly translates to “he who scratches with his hands.” Anyone who has found a raccoon rummaging around in a once securely closed trash container can attest to how skillful raccoons are with their front paws. In fact, they have four times as many sensory receptors in their forepaw skin as they do in their hindpaws, a ratio similar to that of human hands and feet. Samuel Zeveloff explores this trait and much more in his accessible natural history of raccoons. Written with the general reader in mind, Raccoons presents detailed information on raccoon evolution, physical characteristics, social behavior, habitats, food habits, reproduction, and conservation, as well as their relationship with humans and many other topics. The section on distribution and subspecies focuses on the raccoon’s current range expansion, and the material on their cultural significance demonstrates this mammal’s unique status in different North American cultures.
Raccoons are skilled survivors! These critters easily climb up and down trees to avoid predators. Then they scurry off to secret dens! This low-level text introduces readers to the adaptations that help raccoons survive in the forest biome. Special features offer additional information such as range, conservation status, life span, and diet.
Little Raccoon has a question. It is a question for his mother. "When do you love me most of all?" he asks. Of course, one question leads to another. "Is it when I wake up?" And another. "Is it when I play in the trees?" And another and another and another. Little Raccoon has lots of questions. How many answers does his mother have? Just one.
