It is a sweet little story but it doesn't have the opossum facts in the other books.

What to wear
Opossum doesn’t know what to wear for Halloween, everything still makes her look scary! This is a great book teaching children about not judging a book by its cover. Thanks to her friends standing by her she finds out, being true to you is better than a costume.

Perfect Opossum
As a Tennessee native I’m used to seeing opossums wondering around late at night. It was nice to find a story about one. My son loved how silly Poppy looked in all the different costumes and the ending was sweet as she accepted how scary (but sweet) she is all on her own.
