Possum Magic

Possum Magic

Possum Magic is my second favorite Mem Fox book ("Where is the Green Sheep" is my first) but as our son gets older I suspect the two will change places.  Green Sheep is great for younger kids, I know the magic in Possum Magic will grow on him as he gets older.

A wise grandmother possum turns young Hush invisible to protect him from the wild.  Being invisible is great fun, most of the time.  When Hush decides it's time to become visible the two possums have a culinary adventure across Australia to find the magic to turn him back.  If you know your Aussie geography and snacks you will have a wonderful time reminiscing while you read this book.  If you don't, have no fear, you'll still be charmed by the magical possums and their grand adventure.
