Six little wombats head off on a walkabout (a long walk) and one by one they get sidetracked by things in the Austrailian countryside, and is captured by a dingo. The last two make a plan to save their friends, will it work?
What I Thought:
What an adorable book. The rhyme is catchy and the illustrations are so cute. Each of the wombats are wearing a specific item that provides distinction and Shields provides a key along with a glossary of the Austrailian terms that are used, like walkabout and kookaburra.
This would be a wonderful book to share in a Australia unit, or a fun counting book.
Highly recommended.
