Nicolee's sister sent this series to Nicolee's son, so when we went to their house for dinner, she brought it out to share with Jack, as another half-Australian boy.

I read it to Jack at the dinner table after we had eaten and the night was winding down, as he was getting a bit bored. Daniel and I loved how it was based on the original Possum Magic book and characters. Jack seemed to love the animals.

This board book uses the characters and story of Possum Magic to illustrate a few opposites. A cute little introduction to both the story and the concepts for babies.
