One of my favorite bedtime stories about a raccoon that wants to know why his mother loves him. Throughout the story he gives examples of the good things that he can do and each time he asks his mom is that why she loves him. Little Raccoon gets very discouraged because his mother keeps saying that his reasons are not why she loves him. In the end he finally finds out why.
Little Raccoon asks his mother a question. And, of course, one question leads to another. And another. And another.
Little Raccoon has many, many questions.
But his mother has only one answer. What is it?
A picture book for ages four and up, the delightful illustrations and the enchanting narrative will make this a favorite of both parents and children.
Recommended.

Ms. Schlein received a B.A. in English and psychology from Brooklyn College in 1947 and then held a number of jobs in advertising and publishing.

In the 1950's she also wrote some stories about children and animals that won her wide recognition and awards, including "Four Little Foxes," "Elephant Herd," and "When Will the World Be Mine?" about a baby snowshoe rabbit, which The New Yorker called "a poetic book."
