Last week my family and I went camping with a few other families. Of all the weeks of this summer it was the coldest and wettest yet. Not the best week to have gone camping but we still had fun. I didn't get as much reading done as I had hoped, but I did get to go zip lining, swimming and hiking. I also got to chat with a my friends which was nice.
But I am glad to be back to the blog and writing about what I have read! Here it is much warmer and drier, which I do appreciate.
Synopsis
A family of wombats go out for a walk. But they do not know that a wily dingo is about. Will they all make it home for tea?
My Thoughts
This was a cute book. It is nice that at the beginning they give definitions of some of the words that are used in Australia that are not as common in other parts. The depiction of the Australian flora and fauna enhanced this book, which without it risked being just another run of the mill counting book.
I liked the rhymes and the rhythm of the book. I love how the wombats are able to able to outwit the dingo. The wombats look so cute, though in real life I don't know if I would want to run into one.
My kids liked this book too. They were excited and felt a bit of dread when one by one four of the wombats did not come back.
This is a great book to snuggle up and read together. I think this is one that we will get out again and again.
