Appleblossom the Possum

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Gary A. Rosen. Appleblossom and siblings discover how to find food, prepare for such enemies as "hairies" (dogs) and "monsters" (people), and develop their acting abilities. (Possums have theater in their blood.) When Appleblossom is trapped in a "monster" house, two brothers, Mama, a newly rediscovered father--and her own acting abilities--come to her rescue. Rosen's pencil and wash illustrations reinforce this adventure's warm, witty sensibility.
