Media Reviews
tongue-in-cheek picture book...the often cuddly looking wombat may leave some readers envious of its languid lifestyle. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
hilarious yet realistic...a sumblime balance of the adorable charm of the creature, along with its drawbacks as an acquaintance. SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
Whatley's acrylic vignettes...provide the perfect counterpoint to French's deadpan narration...readers...will laugh out loud at the wombat's antics. KIRKUS REVIEWS
The sweet yet deadpan humor...will tickle youngsters...amusing...look at clever (and awfully cute) garden infiltrators. THE BULLETIN OF THE CENTER OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS, Starred Review
