This title in other formats:Diary of a Wombatby Jackie French
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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. Review:"An affectionate, believable wombat self-portrait...very accessible and funny." New York Review of Books Review:"The sweet yet deadpan humor...will tickle youngsters...amusing...look at clever (and awfully cute) garden infiltrators." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Starred Review Review:"Whatley's acrylic vignettes...provide the perfect counterpoint to French's deadpan narration...readers...will laugh out loud at the wombat's antics." Kirkus Reviews Review:"[H]ilarious yet realistic...a sumblime balance of the adorable charm of the creature, along with its drawbacks as an acquaintance." School Library Journal
