Audio version read to my little cousin who passed away on Tuesday， as part of a way to enjoy our last few moments with her。 I will cherish the memories of her， and I will cherish the moment the whole family gathered around her to listen to this story。--This story in particular made us all cry。 Our little star has gone back up to the heavens and shines the brightest of all， but we can't help but wish she was back here with us。 Life just isn't going to be the same。 Rest in peace， sweet angel。 Audio version read to my little cousin who passed away on Tuesday， as part of a way to enjoy our last few moments with her。 I will cherish the memories of her， and I will cherish the moment the whole family gathered around her to listen to this story。--This story in particular made us all cry。 Our little star has gone back up to the heavens and shines the brightest of all， but we can't help but wish she was back here with us。 Life just isn't going to be the same。 Rest in peace， sweet angel。 。。。more

One of the great books of Australian fantasy。 The prose in this book are among the best you will ever find。 The themes the book touches on are absolutely defining of Australia。 I would recommend this book to people who want a fantasy book that defines Australia and to people who are interested in fantasy with a political flair。

This charming story follows two possums and a group of their friends。 Grandma Poss uses her magic to make Hush invisible。 Hush finds this to be very useful， but after a while wishes to be seen again。 When Grandma Poss can't remember the antidote， they begin a very eventful journey around Australia before returning home。 It follows the home， away， home pattern of storytelling。I'm an American， but I lived in Australia for a few years。 This connection makes this book even more endearing to me。 I lo This charming story follows two possums and a group of their friends。 Grandma Poss uses her magic to make Hush invisible。 Hush finds this to be very useful， but after a while wishes to be seen again。 When Grandma Poss can't remember the antidote， they begin a very eventful journey around Australia before returning home。 It follows the home， away， home pattern of storytelling。I'm an American， but I lived in Australia for a few years。 This connection makes this book even more endearing to me。 I love how the possums travel to different parts of Australia eating the food and experiencing the culture。 As a teacher， this book would be great to use as a precursor for a social studies unit on making maps。 Students could follow Grandma Poss and Hush's adventures on a map。 You could also use this book when learning about the culture and people of Australia。 。。。more

This cute little story is a great introduction to many different species of Australian wildlife， several different cities in Australia， and many types of traditional Australian cuisine。 There is even a very helpful map and glossary in the back depicting all the places Grandma Poss and Hush travel to and descriptions of the foods they try。 The illustrations are very cute， especially Grandma with her glasses and little slippers。 They are simple， consisting of sketching and watercolor， but there ar This cute little story is a great introduction to many different species of Australian wildlife， several different cities in Australia， and many types of traditional Australian cuisine。 There is even a very helpful map and glossary in the back depicting all the places Grandma Poss and Hush travel to and descriptions of the foods they try。 The illustrations are very cute， especially Grandma with her glasses and little slippers。 They are simple， consisting of sketching and watercolor， but there are some excellent uses of bright coloring。 The relationship between Grandma Poss and Hush is very sweet。 Grandma Poss makes Hush invisible to keep her safe， but when Hush no longer wishes to be safe Grandma doesn’t hesitate to literally traverse the entire continent to make her wish come true， and they gain a new birthday tradition in the process。 。。。more

I've read lots of Mem Fox but somehow missed this one。 An adorable story with lots of Aussie flair。 The adorable possum illustrations are so charming， with the quirky magician grandma riding her bike， and little Hush being invisible。 Very cute。 I've read lots of Mem Fox but somehow missed this one。 An adorable story with lots of Aussie flair。 The adorable possum illustrations are so charming， with the quirky magician grandma riding her bike， and little Hush being invisible。 Very cute。 。。。more

An exceptional classic story。 The illustrations are beautiful， and the magical storyline is interesting and informative。 I always wanted to try pumpkin scones because I read about them as a child in this book。

This book is about a young possum and his grandma。 His grandma wasn't just any possum， she was a possum with magic powers！ They would both go on crazy adventures together。 One day they went all the way to Tasmania to just eat snacks。 Reading this as an adult the story line was a little confusing and all over the place for me， but maybe as a child I would have enjoyed it more。 This book is about a young possum and his grandma。 His grandma wasn't just any possum， she was a possum with magic powers！ They would both go on crazy adventures together。 One day they went all the way to Tasmania to just eat snacks。 Reading this as an adult the story line was a little confusing and all over the place for me， but maybe as a child I would have enjoyed it more。 。。。more

Though Magic is a part of the story， it's more about eating your way around Australia。 A concept I absolutely love。 Though Magic is a part of the story， it's more about eating your way around Australia。 A concept I absolutely love。 。。。more
