Possum Trot goes to Show & Tell

Possum Trot is a rather shy lion. He is especially timid around dogs. He had his nose bit off once, but a new embroidered one was stitched on by his mistress* the moment the doggie slobber dried.

He adores long conversations with small children, with the help of a good-natured grown-up, of course.
He has a Very Important Outing tomorrow. He is going to Show & Tell with his boy at day school. Three-year-olds love puppets. He should be a big hit.

(Nap mat and pillow inspired by this Etsy seller.)

*When I was a little girl, my mother made Possum Trot a wonderfully real toy to me. He is only on loan to my own children.

What you may not know Kara, is how dear Possum Trot was to my heart, because he made you smile......
He is still as lovely as ever, and I absolutely adore the pic and story......
I hope his outing is quite the adventure for both he and the grand..........
