Raccoon Field Guide

Your Own Backyard's picture book, The Mystery of the Missing Marshmallows, included mammal field journal pages that proved so popular, we created a full series. Ezra's Bestiary features fun field journals for several well-known North American mammals.

This Northern Raccoon (Procyon lotor) field journal offers engaging visuals and facts for the classroom or the whole family. While enjoyable for all ages, it's designed for children in grades 2–6 (ages 7–12).
