"Possum Come a-Knockin"Children's Books by Nancy Van Laan

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.
