Possum Magic (Voyager Books)

This book was bout for me by my grandmother as a child and has always been a favorite of mine. I decided to purchase a copy for my classroom so my students could get to enjoy the adventures of Grandma Poss and Hush as well. I would suggest it for younger elementary students.

The book came on time and it’s perfect for my little kiddo. They absolutely love the book and has became one of their favorite books to add into their bedtime routine.

Great for reading to our school's 1st grade class. The pictures make it interesting for the kids.

Mem Fox is a fabulous story teller. She creates a message for children that promotes love and kindness and caring.

Well, I’ve loved this book since I was a little girl. I bought this for my son, who is now 2 months old. I’ve read it to him and so far it’s obvious he has no idea what is going on but he likes when I do funny voices and I think the pictures appeal to him. What will be interesting is that because he’s being raised in America, he won’t grow up with these animals or Vegemite (with out being judged by the other kids haha). I look forward to sharing my childhood with him through a bit of possum magic and hope he can find is as magical as I did as a child.

I love the story and the illustrations are absolutely beautiful.

Cute story. Didn't overly impress my bookworm 5 year old. I was expecting something more magical after reading Mem Fox's "Reading Magic" book and learning that it was the best selling storybook in Australia of all time. I guess we aren't savvy enough on Australian animals to fully enjoy it.

I had this book as a kid when I lived in Australia for a few years. I still have it and will bring it out when I have kids over to the house and share with them this sweet story that revolves around classic Australian foods. It never fails to please.
