Precious illustrations, laugh-out-loud story
This is an extremely short and easy read, but what a hoot. The illustrations are to die for. The artist really nailed it with the Wombat illustrations, and while wombats are adorable without the help of people, the illustrations really bring out the personality of this Australian native.Behaving much like a spoiled dog, Wombat gets in all sorts of messes trying to get his new human neighbors to accommodate him. In a very subtle way, the book indicates that these are wild animals - no one pets the wombat... but food magically appears for him.I literally laughed out loud while reading by myself. You could almost just reach right in the book and pinch the cheeks on that little fur ball.Children (and adults) will love looking at the illustrations of the contented, sleeping wombat, as well as those that depict him as sometimes curious and innocently mischievious.This is also a great way to introduce an animal that a lot of kids may never see (unless they live Down Under) in a...

An absolute delight
I bought this book for a friend's son. He's seven, and reads at a higher level than is normal for his age, so this book didn't pose much of a literary challenge for him. He totally loved the book! At last count, he'd read it six times aloud, to everyone. (I don't know if they're contemplating sending it back. ;))It's a really adorable book, and Bruce Whatley's drawings really bring Mothball (the wombat) to life, with her little rolled up tummy rats when she curls up and her little wombat eyes.This book is sure to bring a smile to any reader's face.

Don't pat the wombat!
Until I read this book I had never seen a dedication in a picture book in which the illustrator thanked the author. Yet lo and behold, at the beginning of "Diary of a Wombat" read the words, "Thanks for letting me play, Jackie. This was fun", signed by illustrator Bruce Whatley. He's not wrong either. The book is a heaping helpful of fun, starring a cuddly adorable little wombat and her low key adventures. Having been published at the same time as the similarly titled (and, in my humble opinion, less impressive) book, "Diary of a Worm", "Diary of a Wombat" never really received the praise and adoration it so rightly deserved. To me, this book is the perfect balance of cute and sly (a difficult mixture indeed).We follow our heroine, a rolly-polly little unnamed wombat as she goes about her days. For a wombat, life doesn't consist of much more than sleeping, munching on some grass, and sleeping again. The first few days we spend with the wombat proceed at about this...

wombat walkabout
This is a delightful read for large and small. One of those picture books where the villain lurks somewhere... on every page. The wombats on their walkabout introduce us to the uniqueness of Australia. The language,the drawings great. I had a hard time packaging it up and sending it off to my niece's twins I was having so much fun reading it out loud.

Wouldn't change a word!
Honestly, this book is the cutest. It's a library loaner but I'm going to buy a copy. The author was able to toss in unfamiliar words while still keeping the story pretty light. My daughter and I think the wombats in the book couldn't be any cuter! My son enjoyed asking questions - "what's a dingo? - where is Australia."Well done!

Early one morning when the sun came out, Six woolly wombats went walkabout.

This whimsical counting poem follows six brave little wombats on walkabout in the Australian outback. But the wilderness is bound to bring more excitement than an innocent counting game. Soon enough, the curious wombats learn to beware the hungry dingo! Aussie native Sophie Blackall?s delicious illustrations set adorable wombats in a lush world of golden wattles, billabongs, kookaburras, and gum nuts. With marvelous wordplay and irresistible read-aloud phrases, this ingenious text is sure to become a well-worn favorite. Accompanied by a short, simple glossary of Australian terms and wildlife.

I fell in love all over again
Okay, so maybe the title is a slight exaggeration, but not too much. I was looking up the precursor (Diary of a Wombat) to order a copy for my mother so she could read it to my nephews when I stumbled across this gem. I ordered myself a copy and if the original is a hit with the boys, then she will be getting a copy for her library soon enough. I, personally, loved this one almost as much as the first and would recommend it to anyone I know. I am 27 and have both books in my personal collection...no kids, it is just for me.

Delightful
A delightful addition to the Wombat series, a fun easy read for beginners or story tellers, easy to elaborate on the emotions of a baby wombat's days of curiousity and wonder; in a ever changing world full of discovery and challenge. Perfect for that toddler to first grader who can relate to being wide eyed and ready for adventure and learning.

How to scratch a wombat!
As an Australian I have found this book to be the best book ever written on wombats.The information enclosed within its pages are the most accurate description of wombats that I have ever found. We call them "Bulldozers of the Bush" here in Australia and if you ever have the opportunity to see them they are a fascinating creature.Farmers around Australia classify them as pests but as I have the opportunity to care,raise & release three, I have found they are a wonderful animals that are misunderstood through ignorance only.Jacki French's book if used in schools would teach children around the world that wombats are fascinating Australiananimals.The stories she has written regarding their antics when playing is so true, watching them build their homes in places they probably shouldnt and the fact they bite your legs and you'd swear they find it funny.The pictures in the book are spot on,the illustrations describe clearly what they look like, how to identify their...

How to scratch a Wombat
This is Jackie French's best book so far. I purchased 4 copies, have already given them all away and will buy more! Anyone who likes Wombats and has read "Diary of a Wombat' will enjoy this book. It was wonderful to learn how she got the idea for the book 'Diary of a Wombat' and other books she has written. The illustrations by Bruce Whatley are also wonderful.

My kid wants a wombat
My 9-yr old is big into wombats, but there aren't too many books written about wombats for kids his reading level. This one was just right. There are pictures strewn throughout the book to make it visually appealing and the book is actually pretty funny at parts. It is a cute book about wombats' lifestyle, based on the author's experience with many different wombats. I read part of the book (he finished it in a a couple of days) and we both learned things we didn't know.

Product Description

What's the best way to scratch a wombat? Well, if it's a wombat that's familiar with humans, says author Jackie French, you rub the bony ridge along its back or behind its ears. And the harder you scratch, the better the wombat likes it. For more than thirty years, Jackie French has lived in the Australian bush, coexisting with wild wombats. In this cross between memoir and natural history, Jackie shares her often hilarious adventures with her wombats neighbors and describes their physiology, history, and habits. Bruce Whatley adds pencil drawings in both comic and realistic styles. It's a book that's perfect for the budding naturalist. It's an easy read. It's full of funny stories. It's science with a heart.

Product Description

In 2001, award-winning author and illustrator Charles Fuge introduced Little Wombat to the world: The wildly popular Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball sold more than 140,000 copies. Since then, the adorable and very childlike animal has starred in three more books and continued to charm both critics and kids. Now every one of Wombat’s adventures are finally together in one volume, so you can enjoy them all. It’s sure to be a big success!

Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball

Little wombat spends a day doing his favorite things: walking around and around, and doing a pigeon step till he falls down. Or sticking out his pink tongueand making funny faces! But when the day ends and the sun starts to fallhe goes back home to mama and curls into a ball. Good night!

With a repertoire of comic expressions worthy of Nathan Lane...[t]his book is silly to the core, but it is also a pointed paean to the power of unscheduled play.”
Publishers Weekly

This book celebrates the world of a preschooler with verve and excitement...Wombat is buoyant and darling, charming and fun.” School Library Journal

Found You, Little Wombat!

When the endearing little wombat gets lost during a game of hide-and-seek, he suddenly realizes he’s very, very alone. But you can always depend on friendsand Momcoming to the rescue. Cuddly animals and a comforting story add up to a winning combination.

Swim, Little Wombat, Swim!

Little Wombat fans will rejoice at the adorable creature’s watery exploits, and at the introduction of an appealing new friend for his hero: a Platypus with a funny, fuzzy face who waddles as he walks and swims like a fish.

Theillustrations are warm and reflectiveThey also depict the humor of the struggle as Wombat learns to swim. This story offers a good lesson about friendship [and] isreassuring.” School Library Journal

Where to, Little Wombat?

The grass is always greener on the other side: maybe that’s why Little Wombat thinks his burrow’s boring. So when Mama suggests he search for a better house, that’s just what he does. But it’s not long before Wombat learns that there is no place like home.
The exuberant illustrations infuse the books’ many expressive characters with vim and verve.”School Library Journal

Every night this year!
My son (born 05/00) ADORES this book. He gets four stories every night before bed if he's a good listener otherwise a story gets taken away. So far, FYLW (as we refer to it) has been *the* book to read, even if he's down to one!More than any other story this tale has really sparked my son's imagination. We sometimes 'act out' the adventure during family playtime. During the reading, my son will 'help' little wombat along by saying things like, "It's okay, we're going to do *this*." We as parents really like that you can build on the story as it's presented and there isn't any sort of rhyme scheme to get stuck in your head for the rest of the night.Little kids will respond to the comforting message of being lost and found, having friends and family who love you, and being playful and fun little ones.Highly recommended!Illustrations: 9/10Story: 8/10Message: 9/10Fun: 10/10Educational value: N/A

Product Description

As long as you have good friends,
you'll never really be lost.

Wombat is back in a followup to the bestselling Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball. The critically acclaimed artist Charles Fuge joins writer Angela McAllister to create a charmingly illustrated, deeply reassuring tale about getting lost and found again.
An endearing little wombat and his friends love playing hide-and-seek--even though Wombat doesn't quite understand all the rules of the game. When it's his turn to seek, he hides once more, then calls out "Two, TEN" and opens his eyes. So Rabbit and Koala suggest he count 10 flowers and then search for them. But Wombat doesn't count the pink blossoms nearby; he wanders far away, over the hill, looking for yellow ones. Suddenly, the little animal realizes he's very, very alone...
But you can always depend on friends-and mom--coming to the rescue.
Cuddly, sweet-faced, and personality-filled animals in Fuge's inimitable style, plus a comforting story that kids will really empathize with, add up to a winning combination.
