Personal Review: Possum Magic (Voyager Books) by Mem Fox
This is a superbly lovely book for pre-schoolers and children in the early
grades. After seeing it in Australia, I ordered three copies, one for each set
of grandkids. My grandgirls, 5 and 7, made me read it to them twice, even
though they both can read most of it, and I even caught the 9-year-old
eavesdropping. It is one of those books whose illustrations match the

charm of the text, and both text and pix are simple, straightforward, yet
colorful and delightful and totally enchanting. It's the story of how Hush, a
little girl possum, is made invisible by her Grandma Poss's magic and their
subsequent search to make her visible again, which they do by cycling
around Australia (and sailing to Tasmania in an umbrella) and eating the
various specialty foods. Just naming them will make any Ozzie homesick:
pavlova, lamington, vegemite, minties, etc. Even a Yank tourist like myself
gets a little misty-eyed. The only thing the author left out was Victoria
Bitter, but it is a children's book, after all.
