Christmas Wombat

Wombats are Australian animals that look a little like bears, but smaller. Their favorite pastimes are sleeping, digging, and eating, especially eating carrots. In this comical picture book, the feisty, determined wombat star of Diary of a Wombatreturns to celebrate Christmas, wombat style. She goes head-to-head with some strange creatures, which look to us like Santa's reindeer, in competition for carrotsand wins. Then, an accidental stowaway on Santa's sleigh, she visits countries around the world and learns that there are carrots everywhere, more than she'd ever imagined. No wonder she isn't hungry for treats on Christmas morning! Funny, engaging illustrations complement the brief text for a unique wombat's-eye view of a favorite holiday.
