A laugh-out-loud picture book about a self-proclaimed picky eater of a raccoon-perfect for human picky eaters! Don't look at this raccoon and think she'll eat just anything. Oh, no. She is picky! She's been choosy forever-and listen, it's a tough life. It's not as though the perfect snacks just fall from the sky (except when they do). You've got to work to find the sourest milk, the crunchiest bumblebees, and the most delicious trash. Snacking while picky is a real challenge sometimes.but you never know where you'll find the tastiest treats to try! From children's author Kristen Tracy and rising star illustrator Erin Kraan, I AM PICKY is sure to delight even the choosiest of eaters-and readers.
"Are raccoons picky eaters Readers may not assume so, but this friendly raccoon narrator claims to have always been a fussy eater, just like Mom and Dad...Readers will giggle, groan, and learn about raccoons as they reconsider what it means to be a finicky eater." --Kirkus Reviews
