Epossumondas (Irma S and James H Black Honor for Excellence in Children's Literature (Awards))

Who's Epossumondas? Why, he's his mama's and his auntie's sweet little patootie, that's who. He's also the silliest, most lovable, most muddleheaded possum south of the Mason-Dixon line!
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?)

Reminds me of the story of Epaminondas from my 1950's childhood...

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.

LOVE THIS BOOK!

The style in which this work is written is absolutely priceless! When reading it to children I do suggest you practice your southern accent (if you don't already have one), as the story hinges on the wonderful dialect and silly words....
