Playing Possum

by Jennifer Black Reinhardt

Meeting strangers makes shy possum Alfred anxious, and he plays dead. So he has trouble making friends--until Sophia the armadillo reveals that when she gets anxious, she rolls up in a ball. A witty friendship tale inspired by animal behavior.

In this winsome tale, Alfred, who plays dead, and Sophia, who rolls up in a ball, stand in for shy or anxious humans whose discomfort keeps them from fitting in. Jennifer Black Reinhardt...

Cute!

We had an opossum visit our deck and thought this book would be a neat teaching tool for my daughter to learn from. Alfred and Sofia show kindness to others as each react differently to situations based on their species - dual purpose!
