Beloved, award-winning Australian author Jackie French has written more than 140 books. She lives in Australia with her family . . . and usually one or more wombats. Visit her at www.jackiefrench.com.
The illustrator-author Bruce Whatley was born in Wales and now lives with his family in Australia. He has illustrated more than fifty children's books, including French's best-selling Diary of a Wombat.
"Delightfully comical, providing a satisfying story that will
appeal to the whole family, from toddlers through adults."
--Kirkus, starred review "French provides Whatley with bare-bones
scaffolding on which to build comic moments of Wombat munching,
napping, and tussling with reindeer."
--Publishers Weekly "Charming and slight, the humor shines through
the spare text and Whatley's expressive paintings of the lazy
wombat."
--School Library Journal "Succinct sentences and episodic pacing
allow Wombat's adventures to speak for themselves."
--Horn Book "Jackie French's succinct narration works charmingly
with Bruce Whatley's depictions of the myopic, carrot-loving
quadruped that accidentally stows himself on Santa's sled."
--Wall Street Journal --
