My son is expecting a child this year and wanted books for the baby. On his list were some books I bought him in Australia when he was young. One of the top picks was Possum Magic! I remember reading it to him growing up. I was surprised he asked for it for his baby! Had to get it! Great book! Review: Beautiful book - I love the story and the illustrations are absolutely beautiful.

Great book for toddlers
This book is by an Australian author about a possum that is invisible. His grandmother remembers that there is a way to reverse this , so they travel around Australia eating different foods. Each food makes more of the possum reappear until he is finally wholly visible. Fun and educational and it has a map and explanations of the foods in the back. Beautifully illustrated!

Ausie food memories
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.

Didn't meet expectations. But cute.
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.

One of my favorite 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.
