Editorial Review 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. Customer Reviews (4)

Editorial Review Product Description Little Wombat is back! Award-winning author and illustrator Charles Fuge--whose Sometimes I Curl Up in a Ball sold 106,000 copies and charmed critics and children alike--has created a new adventure for his ever-popular character. It's a fun-filled tale about discovering new friends and appreciating others' differences. Fans of Charles Fuge's Little Wombat will rejoice at the adorable creature's return--and at the introduction of an appealing new friend for his hero. And what an unusual animal Platypus is: he waddles when he walks, has a funny fuzzy face, and most special of all, can swim just like a fish. Little Wombat would love to do that too. But are wombats meant for the water...or is he better off staying on dry land? Every child who has ever eyed the swimming pool nervously will happily follow Little Wombat's success. Praise for Sometimes I like to Curl Up In a Ball! "With a repertoire of comic expressions worthy of Nathan Lane...[t]his book from a British duo 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 Customer Reviews (9)

Editorial Review Product Description Little Wombat is back! In 2001, award-winning author and illustrator Charles Fuge (with writer Vicki Churchill) 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 another two books and continued to charm both critics and youngsters. Now Wombat’s back in a new adventure that’s sure to be another success. The grass is always greener on the other side: maybe that’s why Little Wombat thinks his burrow’s boring, while everyone else gets to live someplace exciting. So when Mama suggests he search for a better house, that’s just what Wombat does. It’s not long before he learns: there really is no place like home. A fun-filled tale about being happy with the things you have, as well as an entertaining introduction to animal dwellings. Customer Reviews (6)

Editorial Review Product Description The new kid in town is a wombat from Down Under. He’s having a tough time fitting in, so he tries to join the baseball team. They’re excited to see a Wham-bat” hit, but baseball seems to him like a strange game indeed as his literal interpretations of the lingo, such as stealing third base,” lead to hilarious, and ultimately victorious, results.

Surely crab-hunting is a safe activity. Wombat and Fox and all their friends are always entertaining as they fumble their way in and out of strife on the bus, at the beach, inside Bandicoot's beach box, and around the rock pools.

Editorial Review Product Description A light-hearted account of an improbable side of Victorian England, this history tells of the pet wombat owned by Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the late-19th century fad of owning Australian animals as pets. This examination also looks at the way a wombat participated in the delicate relationships between the men and women in the Pre-Raphaelite circleparticularly Rossetti’s emotional affair with Jane Morris, wife of his friend and colleague William. Fully illustrated with drawings and etchings of the period, this work will appeal to those with an interest in Victorian England, the Pre-Raphaelites, as well as wombat lovers the world over. |

Editorial Review 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. Customer Reviews (2)
Too many editoral changes
Every night this year! 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: 9/10 |
