Illus. in full color. While Granny is a-rockin’ and a-knittin’ and Ma’s
a-cookin’ and Pa’s a-fixin’, that old possum in his top hat and vest just keeps
on knocking. The narrator, a redheaded boy, tries to tell family members about
the possum, and when the family checks, the possum hides. Should be popular
with story-hour groups. – Booklist.
