(3) K-3 Preoccupied with Christmas activities, Gilbert forgets to do his homework over the weekend. On Monday, the resourceful opossum recruits a classmate who's in the same boat, and they do their assignment in an unusual way. In this enjoyable fourth book about Gilbert, the characters may be animals, but their body language is human, and the illustrations are full of familiar details.
