Illustrated by
Lynn Munsinger.
Hunter the raccoon faces a dilemma when his best friend, Stripe, starts misbehaving in school. Should he imitate Stripe, even though it makes him uncomfortable? Guided by his mother, Hunter sets a good example instead and succeeds in getting Stripe to be "his very best self." With the help of Munsinger's funny, energetic illustrations, Elliott delivers her message of being true to oneself with a light touch.
