Why read it?
1 author picked Wombat as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I really enjoy learning about animals that I don’t see every day. When I picked up Wombat, I was hooked by the cover illustration of this adorable Australian marsupial. Then I was engaged by many interesting facts as I shared a busy day with this tunnel-digging fellow. Who wouldn’t want to read a book about a cute animal that leaves cube-shaped poop on rocks and stumps?! Chen’s engaging text is perfectly complemented by Liz Duthie’s illustrations.
From Janet's list on interesting animals.
