Little Raccoon's Big Question by Miriam Schlein

Illustrated by Ian Schoenherr.32 p., Greenwillow, 2004.

A little raccoon asks his mother when she loves him most. He guesses that she might love him most at times when he's adorable, or compliant, or plays well with other raccoon children, or shows his skills. Mother Raccoon explains that she loves him most now, because it's always now. This book is especially nice as a bedtime story, because it not only expresses a soothing message of unconditional love, but also ends with the little raccoon's bedtime.

Ages 3-7
