Mr. Pippin is a raccoon rescued by the author's sister from the wild when a baby. This picture book tells about all of Mr. Pippin's adventures growing up in the Bluedorn family. His everyday life is detailed with beautiful illustrations and text. Miss Bluedorn leaves the ending open for the reader's imagination and for family discussion as Mr. Pippin returns to the wild for a future among his own kind. Four photographs of the real Mr. Pippin complete the book.
Recommendation: The Story of Mr. Pippin not only is a lovely storybook, but also is a "living" science book for very young readers. The beautiful illustrations will appeal to even the youngest children.
