    Carl is bad. Bad to the bone. The only thing that would make being this bad even better would be someone to share it with. Cue the Possum Populator and a whole bunch of bad guys.

    Perfect for fans of Despicable Me and Lilo & Stitch, this exceptionally goofy picture book stars aspiring villain Carl the possum, who is on a mission to create a like-minded conspirator.

    Life as an aspiring villain is lonely for Carl the possum, so he's on a mission to create a like-minded conspirator. But when his Possum Populator arrives, it requires assembly (and villains don't have time for that). So, Carl tosses the instructions, leading to a series of outlandish mishaps and mounting frustration as the contraption pops out all the wrong creations.

    Hilarious and imaginative, this picture book will have readers laughing and eager for more diabolical misadventures with Carl at the helm.
    Praise for Impossible Possums:

    "Kids will giggle over this comically inventive story and Carl’s exaggeratedly humorous wickedness and will enjoy coming up with additional outlandish P possibilities the Populator could deliver. The dynamic, colorful digital illustrations are equally riotous, conveying sound effects and deploying typographical creativeness. Fast-paced fun and hijinks."
    —Kirkus


    Praise for Impossible Possum for Mayor!:


    "Rey Sanchez’s speech bubbles and digital illustrations feel like screenshots for an animated film; rife with zany energy, they’ll appeal to those making their first forays into comics. Fans of chaotic humor will be pleased as punch."
    —Kirkus
    Justin Colón is a professional actor and children's book author. This is his second picture book, joining his debut, The Quacken. Like Carl, the star of Impossible Possums, Justin lives in New York. Unlike Carl, Justin does not live in a sewer or have an evil lair. He invites you to visit him at justincolonbooks.com.

    James Rey Sanchez’s love for art came from many hours of reading comics, playing video games, and watching ’90s Saturday morning cartoons. He has illustrated books on subjects ranging from Irving Berlin to trucks, but this is his first about a villainous possum. He lives in Detroit, Michigan. Learn more at JamesReyArt.com.
