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.

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.
