Diary of a Baby Wombat

Buyers should be aware that this book has also been released under the title, "Baby Wombat Week." That being said, the story (no matter under which title you buy it) is delightful. The author has created a series of books about the especially endearing wombat. Adults will enjoy them as much as children. Her book, "How to Scratch a Wombat..," gives us facts about wombats and her encounters with these little creatures.

We just love all of Jackie French's Wombat series books and hope more are to come. Each of these books are beautifully illustrated, and follow the trials and tribulations of a wombat. On our recent trip to Australia from the US, our young son was most excited to see wombats because of these books. They are lovely stories. You won't be disappointed!

I know it sounds obvious, it's hard to compete with the original. Diary of a Baby Wombat is cute, but I wish it would have tried harder to stick to the diary style that Diary of a Wombat was written in. The funniest parts of both books are when it describes the wombat's actions with a few words, but this is the majority of the first book, while this book strays from that too often.

Okay, so maybe the title is a slight exaggeration, but not too much. I was looking up the precursor (Diary of a Wombat) to order a copy for my mother so she could read it to my nephews when I stumbled across this gem. I ordered myself a copy and if the original is a hit with the boys, then she will be getting a copy for her library soon enough. I, personally, loved this one almost as much as the first and would recommend it to anyone I know. I am 27 and have both books in my personal collection...no kids, it is just for me.

Love the Diary of a Wombat books! The illustrations are really cute and the stories are really cute. There isn't too much to read on each page, but the series is a great addition to any kids library.I also recommend "I Want My Hat Back"  I Want My Hat Back

A delightful addition to the Wombat series, a fun easy read for beginners or story tellers, easy to elaborate on the emotions of a baby wombat's days of curiousity and wonder; in a ever changing world full of discovery and challenge. Perfect for that toddler to first grader who can relate to being wide eyed and ready for adventure and learning.

Delightful. Typical and clever book by Jackie French of the whole Wombat series.

my 5 year old grandson & I love this book. it's always nice to see a child who's laughing, because he's "getting" the humor.. I would recommend starting with "diary of a wombat."

Had read the reviews on this book and decided on it for my niece. It is a cute comical story, not quite as funny as the first(diary of a wombat) but in the same vein. Your kids will love it.Lovely art work, simple sentences and big print. a great early book for baby and toddler, the pages are paper so it more a book to read to them than to let play on their own, but trust me they will enjoy it.

We have Diary of a Wombat which is a fantastic book, really funny and clever, but this follow up certainly is not a patch on the first, the story line is very basic, it's a short book and does not have any of the clever humour of the first. A real disappointment!

We bought it for our daughter but she's still so young that she mostly wants to eat it. We enjoy reading it with her, though. Gentle humour, lovely pictures, and wombats. What's not to like?

My 2 year old now knows this book off by heart. She loves it so much that I've read it to her every day for months !

Almost as good as The Diary of a Wombat ...ie very good indeed!
