Pip O'Possum - Hardcover

by Kathy J. Perry (Author), Claudia Gadotti (Illustrator)

Pip likes to play.

There's no other way to put it: Chores are BORING! But soon winter will be here, and Pip has no food and no home. If he wants to survive, he'll have to become the sort of opossum that makes Mama proud.

Engaging, pastoral artwork enhances this timeless tale that teaches children when the work is done there's still plenty of time to play.
