Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When someone knocks at the door, Ma stops cooking and Granny stops rocking, and Sis stops tossing Baby. But no one believes the young narrator, who peeks and says "It's a possum come a-knockin'...".

Review:

"While Granny is a-rockin' and a-knittin' and Ma's a-cookin' and Pa's a-fixin', that old possum in his top hat and vest just keeps on knocking. The narrator, a redheaded boy, tries to tell family members about the possum, and when the family checks, the possum hides. Should be popular with story-hour groups." Booklist

I remember when I was in elementary school and going to the library and always checking out this book and making my mom read it to me so much I actually had the book memorized word for word. I am now 24 years old and have 2 kids of my own and was just thinking one day about this book and it brought back so many memories. I absolutely love this book and this is the only thing I asked for Christmas.
