desertcart.com: Diary of a Wombat: 9780547076690: French, Jackie, Whatley, Bruce: Books

Review: A hilarious and entertaining children's book for children of all ages - When I tell people about trips to Australia, it will somehow involve my favorite animal in the entire world, the wombat. It's a wild animal, despite it looking like it'd be a great pet. They're not malicious nor aware that what they do is "bad" and they're so darn cute so you can't be angry with them. The wombat's story takes place over a week, and starts out with the wombat sleeping, eating and scratching. Eventually, it discovers humans, and as every pet owner knows, humans are great sources of food for cute and cuddly things. Jackie French is a good author - making the wombat less like an annoyance but instead, a cute cuddly animal that can't help itself. The illustrations are top notch and give the wombat a personality of its own. It shows how destructive they can be - but it's not malicious. They see food, and go after it. You can't go wrong with this book. It's a great introduction to one of the world's most unique animals and makes for a good story for kids.
Review: Fun read aloud! - Narrated from the witty perspective of a highly intelligent wombat, this delightful tale offers a humorous account of the wombat's comical encounters with humans and her relentless pursuit of sustenance. The book combines straightforward yet expressive illustrations with the wombat's sharp-witted observations, providing an entertaining glimpse into a world where animals train humans. As students read along, they will find themselves chuckling at the wombat's amusing escapades, all while engaging in valuable exercises of making connections, posing inquiries, and drawing inferences to unravel the intricacies of the wombat's everyday existence.

*by T***A on August 2, 2023*

The sweet and funny wombat sure made his way to the hearts of my grandkids. They seemed very pleased with the book and enjoyed the wombat adventures and competition with human neighbors to eat every carrot in their house and garden. Cute story and nice illustrations. We loved it.
