In this delightful picture book, baby raccoon wants mama to pick her up and be the baby, but then she wants mama to put her down and be thebig girl. The paintings make this a really beautiful book. The pictures of the raccoons are really cute and the colors are just soft and sweet which is just the theme of the entire book. In one phrase, baby is asking  to be picked up and in the next she asking to be put down and the story all in rhyme. My only issue with this book is it is directed toward toddlers, making it a little young for even the elementary library. It sure is sweet!
