`Now a new generation can enjoy the books'
--The Sun

--Telegraph Magazine

`Endearing adventures involving gathering and sorting rubbish, braving meetings with humans and dogs and, in the nicest possible way, making sure the world is a better place'
--Julia Eccleshare, Love Reading 4 Kids, June 2011

Format:Paperback
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.

Format:Paperback
Such a pleasure for adults and children alike to enjoy these stories. I bought several original stories some time ago (this one new, as a treat for DS), and our son (8) loves it when we read them together. He's a Doctor Who fan too, but loves the Golden Oldies just as much. Enjoy reading them together. Highly recommended.
