About the author

Lilian Moore grew up in New York, received a degree in teaching from Hunter College, and did graduate work at Columbia University. She attended college during the Depression, so job opportunities were few. She worked for the Bureau of Educational Research, helping children who could not read in their Reading Clinic. Ms. Moore was also a reading specialist for the New York Board of Education. She trained teachers and did extensive research into reading difficulties.

She was the editor of Scholastic's first paperback book club, the Arrow Book Club, beginning in 1957. As she said, "Imagine making it possible for these youngsters to choose and buy good books for the price of comics!" She was an editor at Wonder Books, Thomas Y. Crowell, and contributor to Humpty Dumpty magazine.

In addition, Ms. Moore was a founding member of the Council on Interracial Books for Children. Ms. Moore died on July 20, 2004, at the age of 95.

She is best known for her poetry and easy-to-read books.

Всі кричать про те, як сценаристи переробили "Гру престолів", та мене в цьому місяці більше здивувало, як сильно відрізняється ця книжечка від відомого мультика. Якось дивно, навіщо це було взагалі робити. Леончик у захваті, читаємо через день.

I HAD A COPY OF THIS BOOK AS A CHILD. MY GRANDMA WOULD READ IT TO ME ALL THE TIME AND I LOVED IT. I AM GOING TO THE LIBRARY NOW TO READ IT AND POSSIBLY CHECK IT OUT.

An adult reader can tell that Moore is a poet and editor as well as an author (not that it's in verse, but it has that grace and that richness). A child will just feel so clever to know what the mother knows and none of other critters, not to mention Little Raccoon himself, know. Yes we've seen the theme before, but this is a wonderful interpretation of it. Art is perfectly apt.

The first book I ever read!!

I like that he's not scared of anything but then he's scared of the thing in the pool - but it's him! It's his shadow. Literally.
