Media Reviews
tongue-in-cheek picture book...the often cuddly looking wombat may leave some readers envious of its languid lifestyle. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
hilarious yet realistic...a sumblime balance of the adorable charm of the creature, along with its drawbacks as an acquaintance. SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
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
The sweet yet deadpan humor...will tickle youngsters...amusing...look at clever (and awfully cute) garden infiltrators. THE BULLETIN OF THE CENTER OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS, Starred Review

Author's Bio
Jackie French AM is an award-winning writer, wombat negotiator, the 2014–2015 Australian Children's Laureate and the 2015 Senior Australian of the Year. In 2016, Jackie became a Member of the Order of Australia for her contribution to children's literature and her advocacy for youth literacy. She is regarded as one of Australia's most popular children's authors and writes across all genres — from picture books, history, fantasy, ecology and sci-fi, to her much-loved historical fiction for a variety of age groups. 'A book can change a child's life. A book can change the world' was the primary philosophy behind Jackie's two-year term as Laureate. jackiefrench.com facebook.com/authorjackiefrench Bruce Whatley is one of Australia's most highly regarded and talented authors and illustrators for children, both here and internationally.
