Why Epossumondas Has No Hair on His Tail

About this book

Epossumondas has a very important question: "Mama why dont I have hair on my tail?" And wouldnt you know it Mama can tell him exactly why possum tails are all pink and naked and funny looking. Her storys a doozy! It goes way back to Epossumondass great-great-grandpa Papapossum. When hungry Papapossum and his growly ol stomach meet up with wily Hare cranky Bear and a persimmon tree . . . well its one hair-raisin adventure! Renowned storyteller Coleen Salley and Caldecott Honor illustrator Janet Stevens team up again drawing on the Uncle Remus tradition and their own wild imaginations to expose a hilarious--and important!--moment in possum history.
