"Possum
Come a-Knockin" or "Don't Laugh, Joe" Children's
Books
Nancy Van Laan has created a wonderful
story that you can not keep from singing aloud because of the
natural beat to the story. This Parents' Choice Award Winner tells a delightful
story of an opossum that comes a knocking at the door.
"What a ruckus when
Possum comes a-knockin'! Inside, Granny is a rockin' and Ma's
a-cookin' taters. Pappy is a whittlin' while Sis is tossin' Baby.
Coon-dawg's a-scratching and Tom-cat is a-lickin'. Until. Knock.
Knock. Knock. "
Booklist says that this story "begs to be read aloud." Illustrated
by George Booth. (softcover,
9 x 9 inches, 22 pages)

Opossum Puppet with baby Opossum Finger Puppet
 T2134
The 13-inch long opossum
puppet has a 7-inch long baby opossum that rides on top
of mother and can be removed to play with separately. The baby
attaches to the mother with velcro and is a separate finger puppet.
Both the mother puppet and baby will be dancing and singing from
their pink noses down to their pink feet when they hear "Possum
Come a-Knocking". A great story and puppet combination for
at home or in class. |
