I grew up on a diet of Possum Magic and Vegemite sandwiches. I used to lie on the spare bed, in the sunshine, and read books. Book after book after book.
Idyllic really.
Possum Magic was always a favourite. Mem Fox, one of Australia's best-loved authors, created Grandma Poss and little Hush way back in 1983. Can you believe it?
It's one of those iconic reads that has been part of many generations lives. I love reading it to my own smalls, it's such a beautiful story.

ReplyDeleteI believe what you published was very logical. But, what about this?
ReplyDeletewhat if you added a little information? I am not saying your
content is not good., however what if you added something to maybe get people's attention? I mean "Possum Magic Turns 30:: A Giveaway" is a little vanilla. You could look at Yahoo's front page and see
how they create news headlines to get viewers to open the links.
You might add a video or a related pic or two to
grab readers interested about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it could make your website a little livelier.
