Emery L. Campbell creates poetic magic in this charming children's story translated from the 19th century Latin-English poem, "Carmen Possum." Two boys and their hound dog go hunting through a snowy landscape to catch a possum prize-but they are not prepared for the trick played on them by this crafty little marsupial. "Playing Possum" is adorably illustrated with original artwork by Maureen "Moe" Paccione.
