The Peculiar Possum: The Nocturnals Early Reader
A Children's Book by Tracey Hecht
Illustrated by Josie Yee
I've been fortunate to receive an ARC of The Nocturnals since book 2 released. I haven't read the first one yet, but I can say that both my son and I, along with my Ewoks, LOVE these critters! During the summer, I lucked out with a copy of a new series from author Tracey Hecht. She began an early reader series with the same characters (Dawn, Tobin and Bismark) but they're much younger.
This is my review for The Nocturnals Early Reader: The Peculiar Possum.

The Peculiar Possum is a new book from the new Early Reader series, published by Fabled Film Press. The same lovable characters from The Nocturnal Series (Dawn, Tobin and Bismark) are there, just younger and even more curious.
In The Peculiar Possum, the Brigade come across a stranger who seems to strike a chord with Bismark. Bismark, the angry sugar-glider, doesn't like the visitor who enjoys eating his pomelos. This character is different and comes off threatening- but we all know Bismark is dramatic and can make anything seem antagonistic.
Throughout the story, the theme of being different is prevalent, but not in a negative way. You find yourself laughing at the way the two go at one another that allows one to laugh but not laugh at. It's a sweet story that eventually teaches Bismark a lesson: You can't judge someone by their looks and being different is a good thing!
My Ewoks loved this one, mostly because the peculiar possum had a comeback in one way or another when Bismark attacked. They know about being different, being bi-racial but never has their view been so softly and hilariously pressed that they saw nothing but the positive. My Ewoks are 8 and 7 and The Peculiar Possum was the read of the summer.
