Wombat Goes Walkabout
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Morpurgo, Michael, M.B.E., PUBLISHER: HarperCollins Publishers, Wombat loves to dig. One day he digs a deep, deep hole and crawls inside to think. Wombat loves to think. But when he climbs out of his hole, he can't find his mother. He is alone -- though not for long. Wombat soon meets cackling Kookaburra, hopping Wallaby, ong>swingingong> Possum, scampering Emu, dozing Koala, and hunting Boy. But though he climbs the highest hill, he still can't find his mother. Instead, he spots a fire, leaping from tree to tree. It's up to Wombat, a thinker and a digger, to do what he does best to see himself and the others safely through danger. And in a tender conclusion, his friends use their own gifts for flying and ong>swingingong>, hopping and scampering, to reunite a worried Wombat with someone very dear.
