Epossumondas

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Janet Stevens. Epossumondas (a transformation of the now problematic "Epaminondas"), an outsized, bediapered possum, must carry gifts from his doting auntie to his equally besotted mama. This he dutifully does, always in preposterously inappropriate fashion. Stevens depicts the possum as an endearing noodlehead, his equally silly elders as comfortably large grandmotherly humans. The well-honed text will be just right for group sharing.
