Why Epossumondas Has No Hair on His Tail

(2) PS Illustrated by Janet Stevens. The eponymous possum is back, this time wondering why his tail is "naked and funny looking." His mama--a portly, comfortable human--provides a lively elaboration on a traditional tale. Salley makes the most of the twists and turns whereby the trickster is tricked; Stevens's big, boisterous illustrations fairly leap off the page, nicely suiting them for the group-sharing the tale demands.
