    Chapter One

    Who would have ever thought that a ten-inch tail could cause such a stir?


    Well, it’s true. And by the following morning, our home was a buzz in a whirl of excitement as news vans swarmed and reporters zeroed in to cover my story.

    Well-wishers, radio talk-show hosts, and camera crews all filed in to pay their respects. Their reports hailed me as an “unlikely hero” and the new “it” kid in town.

     

    I had suddenly become the “possum poster child,” the “flavor of the month,” and the next “big thing”! You get the picture. Right?

    Meet the Inspiration Behind the Tale

    Yes, there really was a possum named Baby Grumbles and a pot-bellied pig named Turbo who played a part in his rescue.

     

    This is the true story of how Baby Grumbles came into my life and inspired the book A Possum's Tale....
