Talks about what a wombat is and everything about where it is from. Also what it looks like. Follows a timeline. ( )

Absolutely stunning. The illustrations are gorgeous and the humour is charming. Even amongst all of the childish antics, French's portrayal of the wombat is accurate. If you don't come away with a new understanding and love for this much under-represented marsupial, than you are clearly heartless. Recommendable to people who would like to expose their children to some of Australia's fauna that ISN'T a kangaroo or a koala. Any child who loves animals will just adore this book. ( )

Completely endearing. The story itself is enough to make anyone love wombats. This wombat's diary does well to give some human characteristics to this wonderful animal but also manages to keep the wombat's natural characteristics intact. The illustrations are adorable and the layout of the book itself is charming. I'm very fond of this book. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0618381368, Hardcover)

Wombats are cuddly-looking, slow-moving Australian animals. Their favorite activities are eating, sleeping, and digging holes. Here, in the words of one unusually articulate wombat, is the tongue-in-cheek account of a busy week; eating, sleeping, digging holes . . . and training its new neighbors, a family of humans, to produce treats on demand. This entertaining book, with its brief, humorous text and hilarious illustrations, will endear the wombat to young children, who may recognize in the determined furry creature some qualities that they share.
