Format:Paperback
Having read a Wombling story not that long back in tribute to Elizabeth, I wanted to do the same again for another one in order to get a fuller flavour of the hairy Wimbledon heroes. When this title landed I was a little shocked to see that its original release date was when I was one, so whilst I knew that it would be dated for a story to stay in print it has to have a lot of contributing characteristics to give it such longevity. What unfurls perhaps first of all is that there's a womble for everyone, may like Uncle Bulgaria, others like Wellington or Madame Cholet , personally I'm an Orinoco fan as he's the one I can associate with more, a bit clumsy, a fan of sleep and for me the most fun to be around.
Each womble brings something new to the reader and whilst their overall adventures have an eco-friendly connotation, they're entertaining, the language is accessible for readers and above all else it's a lot of fun to be around. All in great fun and with luck Bernard Cribbins will be back for more misadventures at some point with these cracking characters.

The Womble books are an absolute pleasure to read to my 6 year old son. They are so rich in detail and characterisation and have completely won my son's heart. I would recommend them to anyone with young children as a nighttime read before bed. So much better than the animated 1970's tv shows.
