I'm looking for some inspiration /lit/. Are there any stories that: a world where supernatural/metaphysical/"magical" things are common place, but still have the realistic kind of "grounded" of every day happenings. Kinda like urban fiction, but less "W0wza Kazookz magik!?@!" and more, well, Seussian. Nobody bats an eye at The Grinch or a Cat in a Hat or a Lorax, they're characteristics and figures fit in to the larger world even if humans existed in it because of an unspoken acceptance. But saying it's an unspoken acceptance isn't enough, there's an atmosphere of fantasy that pervades it and welcomes the audience to imagine and accept anything. I can't find many books that have that.

Have you never fucking heard of magical realism? What are you even doing here?

It's not exactly high brow, but The Witcher might be something to look into. Dude does a good job of blending fantastical beasts and fairy tales together.

This

Please do yourself a favor and learn everything about magical realism. You won't regret it. The world knows about this, but Americans (for the most part) have no idea.
