### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautiful, amusing book for children of all ages
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2019*

I first encountered wombats when I went to the Olympics in Sydney in 2000.  Fatso, the amply-posteriored Wombat was an unofficial games mascot, on Channel 7 TV every evening in the wonderful Roy and HG roundup of the days’ events.  We then saw a real one at the Sydney zoo – of course, asleep and unmoving.  Now, I have a very large backside, and enjoy eating and sleeping enormously – so, felt that I had finally met my totem animal.  I LOVE wombats!Then, a Goodreads friend alerted me to this book – and I simply had to have it.  It arrived today, and did not disappoint.  The illustrations are superb, and the story (though limited in vocabulary and variety of scene) immediately grabbed both me and my husband.The diary-writing wombat’s life revolves around sleeping (lots of), eating, scratching and digging holes.  Then, new neighbours appear – a human family – whom, within a short number of days, are convinced to provide the wombat with repeated gifts of carrots and oats.  The book ends with:“Evening: Have decided that humans are easily trained and make quite good pets.  Night:  Dug new hole to be closer to them.  Slept”This book is marketed to 2 -4 year old children – I would recommend it to everyone – with or without children!

    A firm family favourite 13  years on
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 August 2018*

My wife introduced my to this gorgeous book after bringing a copy back from her time in Australia.  It's cute, thoughtful, gentle, and warm, but at the same time pointless and delightful.  With 2 girls now 9 and 7, this is a regular read and has been over the years.  Gorgeous.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book, especially for Aussie expats
  

*by B***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 July 2020*

We bought this book to read to our 4yr old daughter to introduce her to Aussie animals. Being expats in Ireland, we really like that she is learning about Australian animals. It's a great timeless classic read for not just Aussies but even individuals who love Australia or want to teach their kids more about Aus prior to a holiday.If you found this review helpful, please take a second to click the helpful button below as it makes writing these more agreeable.
