Informationen zum Autor Jackie French was born in Sydney in 1953, grew up in Brisbane, graduated from the University of Queensland and moved to her present home in NSW bush land in her mid twenties. Over the past 10 years she has published over a hundred books on diverse subjects ranging from children’s fiction to pest control! Bruce Whatley was born in the United Kingdom and emigrated with his parents to Australia during his childhood. He often collaborates on picture books with his wife, Rosie Smith. Klappentext The diary of a wombat reveals the hectic schedule of a wombat's life. Our heroine has a lot of sleeping and eating to fit into the hours of a day. Food supply is a constant concern, particularly when humans are so slow to realise the necessity of daily carrot rations. There are always new holes to be dug, and when her territory is invaded she must defend it at all costs. Beautiful artwork by Bruce Whatley. Ages: 3-5yrs. Zusammenfassung A wombat's work is never done...

Report

'French and Whatley have conjured an affectionate, believable wombat self-portrait.' New York Times Book Review
'Bruce Whatley's illustrations bring the story to life in a way that is both endearing and amusing. It's easy to see why this book has won several awards in Jackie French's native Australia. It deserves to be a huge hit here too, as it feels really fresh and original.' Publishing News
