Bookroo's summary

A raccoon real estate agent guides animal families through Old Mill Farm, while a human realtor struggles to find a home for a family. As options dwindle, both agents converge on the same tumbledown property. Will Old Mill Farm satisfy both parties? Discover the whimsical journey through lively verse and charming illustrations.

From the publisher

A raccoon real estate agent is showing his animal clients–families of finches and foxes, deer and ducks–the woods, fields, and pond of Old Mill Farm. At the same time, a human realtor is trying to find a suitable house for a human family. Cabin on a mountaintop? Vine-smothered cottage? Mobile home on the prairie? None of those will do, and finally the tired realtor suggests one last possibility–a tumbledown property called . . . Old Mill Farm. Lively verse and funny, endearing art transport the reader to an intriguing variety of locations and make this quest both entertaining and satisfying.
