Diary of a Baby Wombat

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Bruce Whatley. In this Diary of a Wombat sequel, the baby wombat meets an equally adorable human baby, and an interspecies friendship blossoms. Economy of voice ("Monday. Early morning: Slept") is reflected in the understated illustrations. Set against expansive white backdrops, spreads invite readers to slow down and examine the characters; readers will howl, for example, when the baby wombat scratches his backside on a tree.
