About this listen

I bet you've seen a furry gray animal scurrying across the highway late at night—you know, the one with the pink snout and long tail? That's an opossum, and it is a marsupial. Did you know that it is related to all sorts of different animals, including the kangaroo and the Tasmanian devil? Welcome to the wild, wonderful world of marsupials, a group of mammals found around the globe, though mostly in Australia and Southern Asia. They share many traits with their fellow mammals, but they also have some curious differences. For instance, their young are not born fully formed and spend a good chunk of time growing in a pouch on their mom's body. Learn more about these fascinating furry creatures in Pocket Babies.

Sneed B. Collard III has won numerous accolades, including the prestigious Washington Post/Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award, for his nature writings.

"It is no surprise that the Junior Library Guild has endorsed this book—Sneed Collard is a master ..."—Children's Literature
