Epossumondas (Irma S and James H Black Honor for Excellence in Children's Literature (Awards))
Better choose your words wisely when he's around, 'cause otherwise you never know what you'll get. Epossumondas just might bring you a fist full of crumbs, or a soaking wet puppy, or a scruffy wad of bread--oh, you just wouldn't believe it!
Renowned storyteller Coleen Salley and Caldecott Honor illustrator Janet Stevens team up for this outrageous twist on the Southern story of the noodlehead who takes everything way too literally. (Or is that Epossumondas just pulling his mama's leg?)

Epaminondas and his Auntie by Sara Cone Bryant was one of my favorite childhood stories. I recently dug it out to read to my great-grandkids who absolutely loved it! I know they'll love this as much as they loved Epaminondas.
