KIDS BOOK REVIEW
"Part cautionary tale, part visual feast, Possum Tragic is both entertaining and thought-provoking."
"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!"
CHILDREN'S BOOK COUNCIL of AUSTRALIA CBCA
"Written in verse in the first person, it uses the theme of Halloween with all its accompanying decorations to educate young readers on the dangers of plastics in the environment and what they can do to the wildlife.....This is an entertaining way of introducing primary-age readers to some important topics which warrant further discussion and exploration."
