Where To, Little Wombat?

by Charles Fuge

Book Overview

Little Wombat is back In 2001, award-winning author and illustrator Charles Fuge (with writer Vicki Churchill) introduced Little Wombat to the world: the wildly popular Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball sold more than 140,000 copies. Since then, the adorable and very childlike animal has starred in another two books and continued to charm both critics and youngsters. Now Wombat s back in a new adventure that s sure to be another success. The grass is always greener on the other side: maybe that s why Little Wombat thinks his burrow s boring, while everyone else gets to live someplace exciting. So when Mama suggests he search for a better house, that s just what Wombat does. It s not long before he learns: there really is no place like home. A fun-filled tale about being happy with the things you have, as well as an entertaining introduction to animal dwellings. "

Customer Reviews

Super cute!

It is a cute book. My favorite is still "Sometimes I like to curl up in a ball." But I love this little Wombat so much that I'd collect all his cuteness I can find. :)

Review

I like Fuge's stories. I bought the Little Wombat series for my niece a couple of years ago, and now that my nephew and two second cousins have been born, I've stockpiled same to gift to each of them during their formative years. Cute little stories- the fact that they are in durable board book form is a great plus. I hope they all like the books as much as I do!

Cute and imaginative

I bought this book for my nephews because they love "Sometimes I Like to Curl up in a Ball" by the same author. This one is just as well illustrated, amusing, and has a good message (there's no place like home). The boys and I both love it.

A big favorite with my 3 year old!

I bought this on a whim - loved the illustrations. It's a huge hit with my three year old son. Little Wombat is searching for another place to stay because he is bored with his home.... of course, home turns out to be the best place. My son especially loves turning the book sideways to see poor little wombat failing to climb a tree - and the angry Mrs. Emu chasing poor Wombat from the nest. We have bought other Little Wombat books and they are all a big hit.
