I love the attention to detail in the pix. For example, normally I prefer animal characters to dress themselves only in fur, but all the different outfits here help tell the story so I actually like them. I'm really enjoying this series so far.
Cute tale of Epossumondas an why his tail is naked. His grandfather was foolish and had his tail stretched. I love the illustrations. It teaches a lesson and is funny.
Epossumondas learns why he has no hair on his tail. It has something to do with Papapossum getting caught in Bear's persimmon tree. Not my favorite Epossumondas story, but fans of these character will enjoy spending more time with them.
Presents a children's story about why possums don't have hair on their tails.
