we ARE NOT CUTE!!!!!!!!!

Only joking. We are obviously VERY cute. Quite possibly the cutest animals in the world, tied for first place with every other animal. We are so HAPPY, PROUD, and EXCITED to share with you our very first widely-available book, POSSUMS ARE NOT CUTE!

POSSUMS ARE NOT CUTE! is chock full of photos, stories, facts, and illustrations about America's only marsupial. If you've been a part of the Sesame family for a while, you'll recognize all your favorite fams including Sesame, Starry, Daffodil, George, Cornelia, Adobe, and more! Anyone who's new to opossums will find themselves deep in a world of marsupial magic, and those who think they know all there is to know about us will discover stories and information they never knew they never knew.

For example, did you know:
  • Opossums are immune to snake venom and often eat pit vipers like copperheads, rattlesnakes, and water moccasins.
  • In 1971, a group called The Possum Growers and Breeders Association formed, and included many politicians in its ranks!
  • President Hoover kept a pet opossum named Billy at The White House, who lived in an outdoor house built for President Coolidge's pet raccoon, Rebecca.
  • Opossums have some of the smallest brains relative to their overall size; however, they have outperformed pigs, rats, and even dogs when it comes to remembering the location of snacks! 

The perfect gift, coffee table accessory, and bedside companion, POSSUMS ARE NOT CUTE! is a must for all opossums lovers, and a double-must for anyone in your life who erroneously thinks opossums are not actually the cutest animals on the planet. 

Order now and be one of the first to receive this instant opossum classic!
