Rollicking rhyming story of a troublesome possum knocking at the door. Great read-aloud.

One my favorite childhood books as a kid... my mom used to read it to my sister and I all the time.

A possum came a-knockin' on the front door while everyone in the house was busy. Only the child heard the knock, but he or she could not get anyone's attention! Finally the dog and the cat sense the possum at the door and everyone stops to listen. Pa went to check the door but the possum hid behind

the tree! The possum tricked the family and made a fool of the child. This book rhymes and is a lot of fun; it is sure to put a smile on any child's face. Show Less

This is an amazing story about a possum and his nightly adventures. It is an entertaining book for children that puts a positive light on an otherwise frowned upon animal.
