Fans of E.B. White and Dick King-Smith will adore this heartwarming and funny animal adventure by the award-winning author of Counting by 7s.

Mama has trained up her baby possums in the ways of their breed, and now it's time for all of them - even little Appleblossom - to make their way in the world. Appleblossom knows the rules: She must never be seen during the day, and she must avoid cars, humans, and the dreaded hairies - sometimes known as dogs. Even so, Appleblossom decides to spy on a human family - and accidentally falls down their chimney! The curious Appleblossom, her faithful brothers (who launch a hilarious rescue mission), and even the little girl in the house have no idea how fascinating the big world can be. But they're about to find out!

With a tight-knit family and a glimpse at the world from a charming little marsupial's point of view, this cozy animal story is a classic in the making.

♡ Heartwarming Tale of Our Only Marsupial♡

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

The BEST children's book I have ever read. My 6 year old and I read a few chapters every night before bed. Opossums are the most misunderstood creatures. As a rehabber,the details in this storyline are spot on. These creatures serve great purpose in our daily lives. They are tick eating machines. Growing up in the South,I too was raised believing "possums" are mean,dirty creatures. They wash their hands and faces as soon as they are finished eating. Groom like a cat. This poignant story touched our hearts as I hope it will yours. Thanks for writing a amazing book♡♡♡

Great read aloud book

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2016

What a truly delightful book for children. I, mistakenly, bought this thinking it was a picture book. It was not. It is a chapter book that would be perfect for read aloud time with parents. At first I thought some of the words were too grown up and children wouldn’t know what they meant. But then two sentences later, the word would be explained. Appleblossum has adventures galore all while explaining some habits of a possum. I highly recommend this for all ages of children.

Slow Storyline for Younger Children

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2018

I read the first two chapters of this book, and it reads like a non-fiction book of a possum being born and climbing into the mother's pouch. Maybe the story gets better in the later chapters, but the beginning did not keep the attention of my almost six year old. We have read other chapter books (Sophie the Mouse, Boxcar Children, Posie, etc.) that had better story lines for young children, in my opinion. The illustrations are very cute and sweet.

I gifted this to a wheelchair-bound woman who was once a wildlife rehabilitation volunteer. Her favorite wild thing is possums. She enjoyed the book herself, but there's more: She read the book out loud to her caregiver's children! And there were smiles and giggles all around.

The Appleblosslom book is a cute story. My child enjoyed the teacher reading it out loud in his so much he asked for a copy of it for the house. The story line keeps kids intrigued and intrigued. It also helps with counting by 7s.

We received this book in our Prime Book Box and we (my 6 & 8 year old daughters and I) love it! It is funny, exciting, some chapters end in a cliffhanger, which is fun when you just read a few chapters a night together. Great book! You fall in love with Appleblossom!

What a fantastic book! I've really enjoyed Holly Goldberg Sloan's other books and this shows she can even write for animals! This is a very fun book. And the drawings by Gary Rosen are terrific! Both funny and touching. Brings Appleblossom and all of the Possums bursting to life on the page.
