My Possum plays the drums by Catherine Meatheringham.

Children’s Book Week 2026 will be held from Saturday August 22 to Friday August 28. The theme for this year is “Symphony of Stories”.  To celebrate this annual event, we will be reading the book My Possum plays the drums by Catherine Meatheringham.

There’s a scratch at your window or a rustle up the tree, there may be a tap, a thump, a hiss or a screech. Who could it be? My Possum plays the drums is a delightful book so come join us on this musical adventure as we listen to the possum orchestra playing through the night.

How can reading My Possum plays the drums help support your child’s learning?

Encourages children to join in by clapping, tapping and making sounds.
Helps build vocabulary with fun sound words such as bang, hiss and scratch.
Through rhyme and repetitive words, children hear the same words and phrases many times making the words easier to understand and use.
Children use their imagination as they follow the possum’s musical adventure and are invited to explore different ways to create sounds using objects in their everyday environment.
Encourages curiosity about the world around them as they listen for and identify sounds in their environment.
