Diary of a Wombat<\/a><\/h3>\n
Written by Jackie French and illustrated by Bruce Whatley<\/h5>\n

Wombats are cuddly-looking, slow-moving Australian animals. Their favorite activities are eating, sleeping, and digging holes.

This entertaining book, with its brief, humorous text and hilarious illustrations, will endear the wombat to young children, who may recognize in the determined furry creature some qualities that they share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wombat<\/a><\/h3>\n
Written by Christopher Cheng and illustrated by Liz Duthie<\/h5>\n

Wombats may look soft and cuddly, but they are determined and tough, with sharp teeth that never stop growing, limbs that they use to shovel dirt like bulldozers, and bony bottoms they use to defend their burrows. They can live for years without drinking water, getting all of their moisture from the plants they eat\u2014and they deposit their cube-shaped poop on rocks or stumps as a warning to other wombats. Follow one of these powerful marsupials through a suspenseful day in Christopher Cheng\u2019s engaging narration, paired with endearing illustrations by Liz Duthie and interspersed with intriguing facts. An endnote provides additional information about wombats for readers curious to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Very Tired Wombat<\/a><\/h3>\n
Written by Ren\u00e9e Treml<\/h5>\n

How hard can it be to find a bit of peace and quiet? Wombat is tired and just wants to rest. But it’s hard to sleep during the day when a bunch of noisy birds want to sing and play. The magpies keep whistling, the fairy wrens are flitting about, and don’t even talk about the kookaburras. Poor tired wombat. Will he ever get to sleep?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wombat Stew<\/a><\/h3>\n
Written by Marcia K. Vaughan and illustrated by Pamela Lofts<\/h5>\n

One day, on the banks of a billabong, a very clever dingo\ncaught a wombat… and decided to make…\nWombat stew,\nWombat stew,\nGooey, brewy,\nYummy, chewy,\nWombat stew!<\/p>\n\n

In this classic Australian picture book, a dingo catches a wombat and wants to cook him in a stew. But all the other bush animals have a plan to save their friend. They trick the dingo into using mud, feathers, flies, bugs and gumnuts in his stew, and the result is something the dingo will never forget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at the auditions, the first part goes to someone else. So does the next. And the next . . . Will there be a part left for Wombat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
