Wonderful !

Super fast shipping, and VERY pleased with the book ! Charming story and illustrations !A must for oppossum lovers !

Beautiful illustrations, cute story!

I bought this as a gift for my mother who donates her time to the local wildlife sanctuary, and one of her favorite animals is the Opossum. She absolutely loved it and keeps it with her when she does informational lectures for volunteers. It's really a great book, has a lot of information on the Virginia Opossum. :)

perfect balance

A great balance between entertainment and education. I wish he would write a book for every so-called "nuisance" animal!
