"A truly wonderful book that not only pulls readers in with a cute tale about animals but also incorporates activities that mimic the lives of raccoons—all while being educational! . . . This is truly a perfect blend of education and fun with the addition of adorable illustrations."
"Exceptionally adorable . . . Part of a series that spotlights familiar North American animals, the book deftly connects natural human children’s activities to raccoon behaviors without engaging in anthropomorphism. . . . Spare text on each page is accessible for emerging readers, and the full-color art’s soothing palette makes this ideal for a bedtime story. . . . Naturalistic and charming."
"Of great value . . . Useful . . . Wonderful . . . The hardworking life of a honey bee is shown through lively text and colorful illustrations which offer significant information."
"The Meet Your World series, which opened with You Are a Honey Bee! and You Are a Raccoon!, offers young children information about animals that they might see in their yard or neighborhood park. The engaging, second-person narrative provides intriguing facts without becoming too detailed, while further information [appears] in the back matter. With bright, lively illustrations, here’s an inviting introduction to robins, one of North America’s most familiar birds."
