Nice follow up to the first book about opossums.
The book functions as a seek and find game as well. As such it might be in physical format instead of kindle.
Read on something with color moniter.
The story is simple but facts are included at the end.

A lovely and engaging second installment
Gina Gallois' engaging animal series continues with her second book, "Mama Opossum's Misadventures," which blends an interactive "find the joey" activity with another strong message about interspecies coexistence.
After taking a tumble, an opossum family becomes separated. Mama must now retrieve each of her 10 joeys from various nocturnal forest friends -- raccoons, skunks, beavers -- whom they've encountered in their wanderings. Not all are so friendly, though, as the reader learns! Can Mama retrieve each joey in time?
This sweet story once again features illustrations by the talented Aleksandra Bobrek, whose artwork makes it just challenging enough for young readers to to spot each joey.
This is another educational read in a series I'm very much coming to enjoy!

Adorable.
Thank you Gina for a very charming tale that shows various nocturnal animals while Mama searches for her babies. All but one keeps them safe until reunited. Soft night illustrations compliment the gentle rhymes. There's a cute surprise come morning which leads to the next book about the Opposum family.

Love these series!
This is a beautiful story that takes us through an adventure while we meet different Interesting animals. As a mom and teacher, I find the book very educational and I love the opossum fact page at the end of the book. Highly recommended.

A very sweet kids’ book
A very sweet kids‘ book that has lovely illustrations. It’s not always clear on a small kindle-sized picture where the baby opossums are, but the majority of them can be seen. A good read.

Fun educational read
I really enjoyed this children's counting book. The artwork is beautiful and matches the story splendidly. The clues are obvious to the adult, but excite the children. Many fun facts to start a discussion with your child.
