I loved this book! The colors are super vibrant and often as chaotic as the theme. I love the raccoons and the idea they are taking back what was stolen from them. Children will have fun with rhymes and seeing all the trouble the racoons get into! This is a book I would definitely have for my child.

I get the overall idea of this book. People don't like raccoons but we have encroached on their habitats so they are here to stay. It was just a little too repetitive and simple for me. The illustrations weren't my favorite either. I suppose the intent was to make the racoons look vicious and wild but I still can't say I loved them. Over all it was ok but not one I feel like I need to read again or to any kids I know.

The rhyming and illustrations in this book definitely make it engaging for young readers. My son enjoyed watching the different reactions to the raccoons behavior, and seeing what they continued to get into. The lesson as to why the raccoons were taking things from the humans is important for kids, but it seemed a little out of place. I think if there had been a bit more of an ending of how we can better co-exist with raccoons, or fun facts about them at the end, that would have maybe tied the book up together a bit neater, but still a fun read.

Revenge of the Raccoons is a fun and beautifully illustrated story that discusses human encroachment on wild habitats from the perspective of raccoons. The old school horror movie-like illustrations are fun and full of humor. This book would make a great introduction to a lesson or discussion about habitat loss for children. The repetition also makes it easy for children to get engaged and involved in the reading which is always a win

My only complaint is that it makes and breaks rhyming patterns a bit more than I would have liked. I like a book to rhyme completely or not at all, so the fact that it sometimes rhymed and then didn't at others was a little off putting for me.

Rambunctious raccoons raid everything from trash cans to drugstores in this rollicking, rhyming picture book. Illustrations portray raccoons both cuddly and scary, plus an array of bushy black and white tails! Perfect for Storytime!

This book is nothing overly special. It is not really realistic. It is just a plain picture book with a lot of repetition.

Revenge of the Raccoons tells the story of the ways raccoons and humans interact because of deforestation and habitat loss, but in a silly, accessible way for young readers. The illustrations are large enough for a story time read aloud, and the rhyming text works well for this purpose as well.

Though not a personal favorite, children will enjoy the colors and the silliness. As an adult, I get that it is an important lesson to talk about how humans took over the raccoons’ homes, but it feels a bit pedantic.

I love a book book with a unsuspecting enviromental lesson. This book was fun to read and the images enjoyable to look at. I think the fact that we are the reason coyotes, raccoons and rabbits come into our yards tends to be forgotten. I also loved the illustration with the young child in a wheel cheer.

Revenge of the Raccoons is a cute, repetitive picture book about raccoons that are basically taking over. There is a "save the planet" message in the book, but it doesn't beat you over the head with it. The absurdity of the book works perfect for the classroom and will entertain readers of all ages. Thank you #netgalley for giving me a copy of this book.

I LOVE this book! It helps that I think raccoons are hilarious, but there are lots of reasons I love this book! I think it is great that it is written in rhyme with predictable text that will be easy for young readers to guess at challenging words. I think the hilarity of raccoons is a huge part of what makes this text fun, they cause havoc in the most ridiculous ways and despite being seen as a pest or a hindrance, when you take a step back and see the ridiculous things they do, how can you not love them. The author shows their funny ways, while also telling the story as if they are purposely trying to bother humans. At the end there is a message that raccoons are acting this way because we stole their land and built houses, which is the perfect opportunity to teach children about overpopulation, the problems with cutting down forests and destroying habitats and the reminder that they were here first. The illustrations are amazing, they are colourful and make it easier for children to comprehend the story without distracting from the words. The font is quite large and easy to read, is usually black on a light colour or white on a dark colour and there are very few words or lines on a page so it is not overwhelming for younger or struggling readers. I would recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the age 4-9 range. I can't wait to read this book to my Grade 3 class! Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review an advance ebook copy of this book, I will definitely be heading out to buy a copy for my classroom library soon!

Revenge of the Raccoons is a really fun book about Raccoons! I loved the silly antics of the raccoons. The illustrations were bright and packed with action.

***Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***
A hilarious and fun look at the "Trash Panda." Also, a slight commentary on climate change.

A book about raccoons, told from the perspective of raccoons! They talk about their activities and there are accompanying illustrations. This style of illustration is not my favorite, but that is more of a personal preference.

Revenge of the Raccoons is a silly book about raccoons wreaking havoc but with an unexpected yet truthful ending. Young readers will enjoy the silly antics that these raccoons get up. There's a bunch of chaos that ensues and the casual rhyming throughout the book makes it an easy read.

The ending was unexpected but in a good way, I think. The humans are asking the raccoons why they are eating all their things and making a mess everywhere and the raccoons are happy to answer. The raccoons simply point out that they were there first before humans started taking over their homes! I wasn't expecting such a real answer after the silliness in the story but thought it would be a great way to talk to young children about the effects of buildings and construction on animal homes.

Thank you NetGalley and OwlKids Books for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.
