Why Epossumondas Has No Hair on His Tail by Salley, Coleen. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780152049355.

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.
