A beautiful new paperback edition of this classic story. A Possum's Tail follows Samuel Drew and his toy dog as they make their way to visit the possums at London Zoo. Disappointed that the possums are asleep, Samuel turns around and heads back the way he came, unwittingly surprising onlookers who notice that the possums have decided to follow him.
Gabby Dawnay is an experienced children’s writer, screenwriter & occasional illustrator. Her picture books include A Possum's Tail (nominated for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal), London Calls, and the popular If I Had... series. Gabby has written for children's animated shows such as Postman Pat and Messy Goes to Okido, and has been the 'poet-in-residence' for the children’s art and science magazine OKIDO since 2007.
Alex Barrow grew up in the suburbs of London to Filipino and English parents before moving to South London to study illustration at Central Saint Martins.
