No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781964953007

Pip likes to play.

There's no other way to put it: Chores are BORING! But soon winter will be here, and Pip has no food and no home. If he wants to survive, he'll have to become the sort of opossum that makes Mama proud.

Engaging, pastoral artwork enhances this timeless tale that teaches children when the work is done there's still plenty of time to play.

This is book one of the Oakwoods series of early reader chapter books featuring under-appreciated woodland animals. Perfect for young readers transitioning from picture to chapter books. Features include:

  • Sassoon Primary font - a proven easy-to-read font for beginning readers.

  • Internal thoughts of the main character printed in color. (Useful for very early or struggling readers. They can read those while you read the rest aloud.) Children love color.

  • Beautiful full-color illustrations with a hidden creature to find.

  • "What If?" discussion questions. Some about the story, and others for application to real life.

  • A glossary for new words.

  • "Did You Know?" section with facts about the real animal. In this story you'll learn about the opossum.
