Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Who's Epossumondas? Why, he's his mama's and his auntie's sweet little patootie, that's who. He's also the silliest, most lovable, most muddleheaded possum south of the Mason-Dixon line!

Better choose your words wisely when he's around, 'cause otherwise you never know what you'll get. Epossumondas just might bring you a fist full of crumbs, or a soaking wet puppy, or a scruffy wad of bread--oh, you just wouldn't believe it!

Renowned storyteller Coleen Salley and Caldecott Honor illustrator Janet Stevens team up for this outrageous twist on the Southern story of the noodlehead who takes everything way too literally. (Or is that Epossumondas just pulling his mama's leg?)

Synopsis:

Epossumondas is the most lovable, most muddleheaded possum south of the Mason-Dixon line. He just might show up with a fist full of crumbs or a soaking wet puppy. Renowned storyteller Salley teams up with Caldecott Honor illustrator Stevens for this hilarious read-aloud. Full color.

Epossumondas is a lot of fun for children of all ages. Preschoolers identify with him and adults get a kick out of the simple way he takes everything so literally.
Fun for the adult reader as well as young listeners.
