Awesome Possum!

This is my all time favorite book to read to my Kindergarteners. I always read it to the upcoming class as well. They get a kick out of the voices that you can do while reading. You can hear them saying under their breath for a week, "Sody, Sody, SodySallyratus". A must have!!!

Wonderfully Entertaining!

I love this book! It is a well written, with the words and pictures supporting each other in the way that a picture book should. The dialog is realistic and the ending wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a picture book that offers humor, action, and a unlikely hero.

Epossumondas

This is really the cutest book. The listeners can get involved with the repetition of key phrases. I found a stuffed possum that looks just like Epossumondas! There are a couple of other books about Epossumondas that are also great!

Epossumondas Saves the Day - Great Book

I have 7 grandchildren who all LOVE the Epossumondas books. Every single time they come to visit those are the first books they want me to read to them.

A zany tale evolves.

Coleen Salley's EPOSSUMONDAS SAVES THE DAY will reach ages 3-7, pairing Janet Stevens' lovely, fun drawings with the unique and lively tale of Epossumondas' birthday. Mama's whipping up his favorite biscuits - but she's out of sody sallyraytus (baking soda), leading Epossumondas on a chase to find the missing ingredient - facing a huge, ugly Louisiana snapping turtle in the process. A zany tale evolves.
