Christmas Wombat

Author(s): Jackie French, Bruce Whatley

Children's Picture Books

"Slept. Scratched. Slept." Indeed, it seems like Christmas will be just another day for the wombat . . . until she smells carrots In this charming picture book, the star of Diary of a Wombat goes head to head with Santa's reindeer in competition for carrots--and wins. Then, as an accidental stowaway on Santa's sleigh, she learns that carrots are internationally available. No wonder she isn't hungry for treats on Christmas morning Engaging illustrations delightfully complement the spare text in this unique, wombat's-eye view of a favorite holiday.
