🦝 I Am Picky: Confessions of a Fussy Eater

A wonderfully gross and giggle-worthy story about a raccoon who has very particular tastes!

Why I chose it

I chose this one for children who love silly humour, surprising animal facts, and stories that turn familiar ideas upside down.

Meet a raccoon who insists she is a very picky eater. She has high standards, you know! She searches for the sourest milk, the crunchiest beetles, the tastiest scraps, and the most delicious rubbish.

While her food choices might make humans wrinkle their noses, this little raccoon knows exactly what she likes. With her family by her side, she takes readers on a hilarious nighttime adventure through the world of unusual snacks.

From children's author Kristen Tracy and illustrator Erin Kraan, I Am Picky is a playful, laugh-out-loud story that invites children to explore the surprising eating habits of raccoons—and rethink what it really means to be a fussy eater.
