Description
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 the gross to the giggle-inducing, I Am Picky is sure to delight even the choosiest of eaters-and readers.
