Hi, I'm Posey Possum

Have you ever met an opossum? No? Well, that's OK. I'm a friendly animal and I love kids!

I'm a gray, furry animal. I sleep all day and come out at night. I live in the woods and eat just about anything! My favorite food is a yellow dandelion. I don't like them when they turn white and fuzzy. Those tickle my tummy!

I like to hang upside down by my tail and play in trees. I am a marsupial mammal. When I was a baby I lived in a pouch on my mama's tummy until I was big enough to walk on my own. I walk very slowly, even though I'm all grown up now.

I love to read books and letters. I love to write letters, too. I hope you like to write letters, too. Writing is fun! Can you think of some things you want to write about?
