This very Aussie tale is a perennial favourite with young ones of this age group as our Aussie animals come to life in the true May Gibbs fashion of an earlier decade. I think the winsomeness of the pictures just add a greater richness to this well-treasured tale - a must for every child of this age to experience!

As a kindergarten teacher, this is a fantastic book to read to 25 four and five year olds and keep them interested. It is beatifully illustrated and very easy to read and it is also enjoyable for adults which helps when you have to read it over and over again.

This book is written by Mem Fox and is a great Australian story to read to your kids. My daughter loves Possum Magic and hearing about the exciting adventures of an invisible possum named Hush and her magical nanna. Its nice to read a book that references Australian places and things like Vegemite and Lamingtons and the adventures the two possums have takes the reader from the Australian bush all around Australia.

I was initially sceptic, but when it arrived I have to say, i changed my mind quickly!! What a wonderful little book! The illustrations are colourful and creative. My one year lod especially love this book. She walks to the shelf and nine out of ten times take t6his book out!! To add to the magic of this little book, she now even asks for "Possy". Yup, from the mouths of babes!!! I can recommend this little book without reservation. Ultimately, a very good buy!

A classic tale that my little ones love to hear. Its a great way to introduce children to the Native animals and culture of Australia.

I bought this book for my grand-daughter who lives in New York - apparently, at 9 months, she pats the possums! Obviously a hit.

This is an awesome book. Very colourful and great for kids. I read it to my daughter and to her friends when i look after them. They really love it. They try to turn the pages themselves. It is a fantastic book and i recommend it to any parent.

My daughter is two yrs old and I am not sure whether she understands the concept of the possum disappearing and then reappearing. She does still like the book. The book also covers some popular Aussie eating products, which of course she would not understand the significance of yet, but in time she will. The story is cute.

A lovely story. It's really nice to have an Australian setting and it throws in a bit of cultural awareness and geography to boot. Well worth including among your child's books.

This Aussie icon is a beautifully illustrated tale which we all enjoy. A magical tale which sparks great discussion.
