THE SNOW WOMBAT

An adventurous young wombat finds his way around a winter landscape before snuggling back into his own cosy burrow.

Snow on the stockman’s hut Snow on the crows Snow on the woollybutt Snow on my NOSE! It’s a big journey through the snow for a little wombat, meeting animals, birds and people along the way...but there’s no place like home! A heart-warming story with classic yet light-hearted illustrations set in the Australian high country. This very cute picture book allows us to share in the simple pleasures – and a Wombat’s delight – when strolling through the snow one day. Despite the cold it evokes feelings of wonder and fun, warm and fuzzy, and concludes with safe and snuggly. Perfect for little kids to love and learn but also to reflect on their own day.
