Opossums - Natalie Deniston

In Opossums, beginning readers will spend a day in the life of an opossum. Follow along as opossums search for food, play dead, and raise joeys. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage young readers as they are introduced to opossums’ appearance, diet, behaviors, and habitat. A picture diagram labels an opossum’s body parts, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about opossums online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Opossums also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index. Opossums is part of Jump!’s Marsupials series.
