Since I adore all animals, I would absolutely, 100%, love to befriend every single raccoon in the world. But, like, only in theory, because I am fully aware that in reality, they act like brilliant, evil toddlers who have hard-earned the nickname trash pandas. So rather than having a wild animal as a pet, I would like to morph into said trash panda in this unholy, trashiest of years: Be feral. Be ungovernable. Eat all the snacks. Eggs cost how much? I’ll just lumber into the chicken coop and cop me a few with my little hands that I can’t stop from rubbing together as if I’m always planning something evil. It’s obviously why nature painted a bandit mask onto my face. 

Just me? Okay, fine, if morphing into a trash panda is too extreme for you, I’ve got a roundup of raccoon products on Etsy that are sure to delight a bibliophile’s heart—some feral, some cute, all bookish. There’s wall art with size options, stickers, t-shirts, a mug with a roomy handle (bonus: opossum!), a custom book stamp, bookmarks (bonus: capybara!), and a tote bag for all your snacks and books! *rubs grabby little raccoon hands together*
