Don't Kill the Raccoons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349482021)

One hundred outrageous, laugh-out-loud stories-so unbelievable, they just might be true.

In Don't Kill the Raccoons - And 99 Other Stories I Wish Were Made Up, Jerry Kraus takes readers on a wildly entertaining ride through the real-life chaos of his childhood, adulthood, and everything in between. Set against the backdrop of small-town America, this collection blends humor, nostalgia, and heart in a way only Kraus can.

Whether he's narrowly avoiding disaster, reflecting on awkward family moments, or recounting bizarre run-ins with animals, Jerry's storytelling shines with wit, warmth, and just the right amount of weird. Perfect for fans of David Sedaris, Bill Bryson, or anyone who loves short, punchy stories that bring laughter and a few "Did that really happen?" moments.

From growing up in the 60s and 70s to surviving adulthood with grace (sort of), these tales prove that truth is often stranger-and funnier-than fiction.
