FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Salley, Coleen

Epossumondas Saves the Day

(2) PS Illustrated by Janet Stevens. Again, the endearing possum and his human aunt and mama re-enact a well-known tale. A huge snapping turtle gulps down successive characters carrying sody sallyraytus (baking soda) home from the store so that Mama can make biscuits for Epossumondas's birthday party. Salley's narration is ripe for the telling and Stevens's art is right in the comic spirit of things.
