Book Reviews of Diary of a Wombat
Book Review: Diary of a wombat
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book from an adult that has had the wonderful fortune to have cared,raised & released three of these unusual creatures of the Australian bush.
Jacki French describes so accurately the most important things that Australian wombats loves to do-Sleep,eat and to check out whats new in their backyard including humans. The illustrations are wonderful and the destruction of all things foreign is so typical of this creature and their love of carrots, sweet potato and a bowl of oats are like chocolate is to us.
I recommend this book to children and adults alike as it is entertaining and a great introduction to the world of the Australian wombat. If this small book makes you smile then follow it up with 'How to scratch a wombat' and read about Jacki's experiences, living amongst and raising these animals in the Australian bush.
