I have had raccoons around my door for years. They are clever and you should never underestimate their intelligence! I also have two stray cats who come by each day and I feed them (of course). But usually there is always some dinner left and guess what? Yeah ... the raccoon family drops by to do the dishes!The raccoons will drop by to check out your garbage too. They love coffee grounds and egg shells along with most anything that has a food smell to it. Trouble is, they love to scatter your garbage all over the place, so I learned a little trick that works with raccoons and dogs. Buy a bottle of ammonia and a spray bottle and use that to spray your garbage just before you bag and tie it up. The ammonia will keep the raccoons from ripping and spreading the garbage all over the place as well as any critter with a sensitive nose! You will notice after a while, all the other neighbors garbage will get scattered, except yours ;)Now to the real review;I loved all the incredible photos this book has and the neatly arranged facts that are laid-out in the content throughout. The author has taken a lot of time to put this book together as well as he did. I loved the 'Fun Facts' and the Quiz at the end chapter of the book. It reminds me of a school text book, yet crafted cleverly into a leisure-time read!I gave it a four star because I believe the Author needs practice. So maybe he will produce for us, another wildlife fact book!-Philly
