"Our son's a picky eater," his parents say. When Muddy gets caught, the oldest, wisest raccoon insists he make amends.

“Softly rendered watercolor illustrations, with sketchy lines and evocative details, nicely depict the story and its droll touches, such as the resourceful raccoons' animated dialogue, their habit of fastidiously washing items 17 times, and Muddy's dapper red bow tie. Animal fans in particular will likely enjoy the quirky premise and cute, independent-minded Muddy.”
