Wombat loves to dig. One day, he digs the deepest hole he&8217;s ever dug & crawls into the darkness to think. But when he climbs out a bit later, he can&8217;t find his mother. He is all alone! As Wombat wanders through the bush looking for her, he meets all kinds of creatures: Kookaburra, Wallaby, Possum, Emu, Koala & Boy. None of them thinks very much of Wombat & his digging &8211; until danger threatens, & he comes up with a brilliant idea! &8220; An exceptional book. Wonderful to read aloud.” Naomi Lewis, Daily Telegraph &8220; Warm, soft pastel drawings by Christian Birmingham distinguish every page&8230; The illustrations are zoologically correct but the wombat still has the goofy, amiable charm of a cartoon character.” Observer
