Melbournestyle Books | POSSUM TRAGIC ! by Maree Coote

WHERE DOES HALLOWEEN COME FROM? WHERE DOES IT ALL GO? AND WHO GOES WITH IT?
A curly tale of invasion and dispossession, possums and plastic, spooks, kooks, sugar and murder.
There's lots to explore here at the intersection of local wildlife and global culture.
"Rhyming text revels in the musicality of speech. Illustrations are spookily beautiful and beautifully spooky.
This book will get kids talking!"

REVIEWS
"This terrific book helps kids find out where the problem of plastic pollution begins, so they can help stop it -- rather than focus on the damage already done. "
__ Adam Bandt, CEO Australian Conservation Foundation

"Kids will love this book. It revels in the spooky fun of Halloween, while at the same time digging in to what Halloween means for the environment. The book goes far beyond Halloween, as a metaphor for all-year-round issues of plastic pollution, invasion, culture, the environment, consumerism, and even the nature of the internet. Possum Tragic is packed with ideas. Classes just fall out of this book!"
