Possum Come A-Knockin'By: Nancy Van Laan Illustrator: George Booth 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.
