\u3cem\u3ePossum that Didn\u27t\u3c/em\u3e (1950/2016) by Arthur Frank Tashlin
Full text linkThe possum ‘that didn’t’ is a very contented animal who smiles in sunshine and rain, but when a group of human picnickers spot him hanging by his tail, they read his smile as a frown and call him stupid for insisting that he is happy. They decide to take him to the city to find amusement and, because he won’t climb down from the tree, they excavate it and transport tree and hanging possum together. Frank Tashlin\u27s book goes philosophical in two different directions. One is the direction of satire: We laugh at humans taking a possum to a nightclub, but what do we really know about animal happiness? The other direction is existential: from the perspective of the possum, it dramatize the question: What do I do when I\u27m understood backwards over and over again—when the world I thought I lived in becomes unrecognizable?https://digitalcommons.montclair.edu/iapc_thinkingstories_picturebooks/1035/thumbnail.jp
