Little Debber and her Daddy spend a lot of times in the woods surrounding their home. Daddy teaches Debber all about the native New Hampshire wildlife and plants. One day, they get a bird's eye view of a family of raccoons. Daddy tells Debber all about how raccoons live and survive. With her usual attention to detail, Debber describes the various sounds the raccoons make and with Daddy's helps learns some of the biological reasons for their markings and behaviors. Daddy teaches Debber about the unique ways raccoons are able to search for food, protect themselves and sometimes scrounge off of humans. More than anything, Debber learns just how much raccoons like to eat, and that they will eat just about anything!
