This is another fine book from a sensitive and caring author whose own role in business, operating with ethics and integrity, is enhanced by this tender and educational invitation for children to explore!
Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Hall of Fame Reviewer, 5-Stars
In addition to the text, Andy Gutman accompanies his books with a song, and Business Raccoon is no exception. The lyrics for Business Raccoon follow the text, allowing children to sing along while they read. "It's Business Raccoon! Business Raccoon! Smartest creature on the sun, earth, and moon!" The chorus sings. Complete with eye-catching, colorful illustrations, this book provides multi-faceted entertainment.
All of Andy's stories emphasize the importance of love and kindness and encourage imagination. Business Raccoon is no exception, from its witty lines, inspiring characterization, and eye-catching illustrations!
Lauren Lee, Writer and Editor
Andy Gutman created this story when he was having some health issues and began writing a book called Grateful. He realized that it was "too heavy" for kids. Since Andy feels laughter is the best medicine, he switched gears and instead wrote a fun book about this Business Raccoon that children could read and enjoy! This isn't Andy's first dive into children's books, as he is also the author of Even, Charlie the Caterpillar, Pop Lullaby, What Can I Be Today, Be Kind, and many more, all of which highlight the importance of trust, love, and kindness.
With its rhythmic charm, expressive illustrations, and a hero who can close a deal and raid a trash can with equal confidence, Business Raccoon is a delightful addition to any child's library.
