Reader Reviews:
utterly charming (0/0 people found this helpful)
I read this to my children in an Australian accent, and they roll around laughing. I think they are partly laughing at how bad my accent is, but the book is endearing and very funny with the most appealing illustrations. It's wonderfully simple and a delight to all my children aged 2,4 6 and 8.
They also love Josephine Loves to Dance by the same author and illustrator, but it doesn't have the same magical simplicity.
There is one problem, they now all want a wombat for a pet, and having read the story, I KNOW that we don't!
Utterly adorable! (3/3 people found this helpful)
No other way of describing it, absolutely adorable. The illustrations of the wombat are unbelievably cute, a book you can read endlessly and enjoy it more every time., Will never fail to bring a smile to your face and make you melt inside. A wombat with an attitude she may be, but also engaging, endearing and an absolute gem.
Wonderful book, priceless illustrations! (3/3 people found this helpful)
I found this book by chance and was overwhelmed with how cute the wombat is. This is one of those books that parents won't mind reading to their children over and over again because it is simply adorable and comic at the same time. The diary format makes this the Bridget Jones of the wombat world!
We're 20 and loved it (3/5 people found this helpful)
My friend and I fell in love with this book in Brisbane airport whilst waiting for a connecting flight. Am so happy to have found it on here. Can't wait to read it over and over again!!
Perfect for Children, Perfect for Adults (3/3 people found this helpful)
We came across this book in a market in Sydney and fell in love with it instantly. The drawings are wonderful, perfectly visualising the story and gorgeous at the same time. The story is simple yet fun, appealing both to children and to the adult in them.
I'm sure this will go down a hit with all children everywhere and with adults reading to them, so, go buy this book straight away, it's the best!
