Milo's Christmas Parade

(2) PS Opossum Milo enlists his family's aid in building a float so he can fulfill his dream of joining the Christmas parade. Not all goes smoothly, but when Santa needs help, Milo is at the ready. Footnotes allow the well-paced text to give asides that go beyond a Yuletide-enthusiast-opossum's frame of reference. Cheery mixed-media illustrations on white backgrounds culminate in a vertical spread showing the bustling festivity of the parade. In an author's note, Palmer recalls her time creating parade floats for Macy's.
