Reading about the yummy, scrumptious food that Hush eats always makes me hungry who doesn’t love lamingtons and a vegemite sandwich? I’d love to set out a picnic for us one day to eat all the different foods that hush ate on her journey, along with reading the book. He also loves pointing out the different animals as we read through the book. The beautiful watercolour illustrations are very captivating and easily grab my son’s attention. The book follows Grandma Poss and little Hush as they travel through Australia looking for food to eat that will make Hush visible again after Grandma Poss made her invisible to keep her safe from Snakes. That’s perfectly fine though because he is learning to enjoy reading. Now he is a toddler and hardly keeps still, so we don’t read it as often, but when we do it’s usually read back to front or pages are skipped. One of my favourites is Mem Fox’s Possum Magic.Ī copy of the book was gifted to us for my son, and when he was a newborn, I read it to him almost every day.


Good thing I work in a library and have thousands at my fingertips to borrow and read for my little boy. Since becoming a Mum a year and a half ago, I have read a plethora of children’s storybooks.
