Bandits

(3) K-3 An omniscient narrator warns readers about bandits supposedly terrorizing a neighborhood: "They sneak and they creep. / Doing just what they please." Telling a different story are the illustrations, which depict a family of raccoons making nonthreatening nighttime mischief as neighbors look on. The text is tongue-in-cheek without going overboard, and there's much to look at in the starlit scenes.
