Every raccoon knows it's wrong to steal people's leftovers, but Muddy can't help himself.

Muddy the raccoon loves leftovers - and he likes to eat them on plates. "Our son's a picky eater," his parents say.

When Muddy gets caught, the oldest, wisest raccoon insists he make amends. But when all 27 raccoons enter the restaurant to return Muddy's stolen plates, what happens next is not what anyone expects.

Mischievous Muddy will steal your heart!

Industry Reviews

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.--Shelle Rosenfeld "Booklist "
