Review
Warm, soft pastel drawings by Christian Birmingham distinguish every page of Wombat Goes Walkabout… .Our young wombat digs such a deep hole that he lose his mother. Wandering through the bush, depicted in earthy tones with blues and mauves drifted in, the wombat asks other animals what they can do. The illustrations are zoologically correct but the wombat still has the goofy, amiable charm of a cartoon character.

A MUST for teachers, parents and children. Develops an awareness of the environment and how it can cause devestation not only to humans, but nature and animals as well. Deals very effectively with the issues of being 'different' and how everyone is good at something.

This book is a beautiful piece of work. The storyline, the writing and the illustrations are all magnificent. I couldn't stop looking at the artwork and how you can almost lose yourself in them even though they are simple. The story of the young wombat looking for his mother and all the animals that he meets along the way asking him what he does and then being unimpressed with his answer and bragging about what they can do is heartwarming. It sends out the message that even the seemingly most uninteresting people can prove why they are on the earth. I borrowed it from my local library but am now going to buy it.

beautiful book
This is quite simply one of the most beautiful books I have ever come across. The story is gentle and engaging. Although the recommended age range is 4-8, my 2 year old loves it.
