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.

      Even rotten possums get happy endings. Carl's a "bad-to-the-bone" possum. He pops kids' balloons and licks their ice cream. Hunched over his "villainous devices," he also plots world domination. Being nasty is lonely, so Carl gets creative: He'll literallymake friends. He orders a "Possum Populator" machine so he can create new "perfect" possum pals as nefarious as himself. Carl ignores the instruction manual, sloppily assembling the machine himself. The carelessly scrambled machine goofs; instead of a "possum empire," it spits out a "penguin jazz choir." Carl's furious, though the performing penguins become the toast of the town. His subsequent commands to the Populator yield no better results, producing pigeon poops, playful pandas, and various other animals and foods beginning withP. Besieged Carl finally consults the manual and fixes his machine, but the screen says it won't work for 100 years! Seems Carl is doomed to be alone. But wait--is that a balloon-busting, ice cream-licking, "bad-to-the-bone" penguin seeking his acquaintance? Kids will giggle over this comically inventive story and Carl's exaggeratedly humorous wickedness and will enjoy coming up with additional outlandishP 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.(Picture book. 5-8)
