Are you having a bad day? Had a bad year? Then get When in Doubt, Play Dead : Life Advice from an Unexpected Source by Ally Burguieres. This book has different sections and tells you WWAPD (What Would A Possum Do). And what would they do? Play dead. Let go. Sleep with whomever they want to. They don’t care what is in your pouch (unless it is snacks, then maybe share). Check on your friends. Know that you are never too large, little, old or young to hold hands (or tails). And they know the right time to smile and scream. Each section is funny, but practical and there are some of the most A-DORRRR-ABLE illustrations accompanying this text. This is just a fantastic book that is for anyone who likes cute and funny things.
The colors are fabulous, the simplicity of things perfect, and even though I read via an online reader copy, I know it is a nice “stocking stuffer” size. So it would be good as a house guest gift, or anytime gift. Meant of course for adults, teens might enjoy it too. The best part is not only are you getting advice you are getting information about possums too (I am sorry to say, they will cohabitate with an armadillo after the ‘dillo has already dug things out…..) There is also a neat twist with how possums and alligators have a few similarities. Which is not my favorite part, but it would be up there if the whole book hadn’t been a favorite part.
Me!
I cannot pick a favorite image. They are just all so much fun and enjoyable. So, you need to read and find out what you like the best. Read the author afterwards for the scoop on the real inspiration behind things.
