Mothball, the loveable, destructive wombat from “Diary of a Wombat” is back for another week.She has a baby. This time, the diary is from Baby’s point of view. I am wild about the pictures of Mothball and her Baby asleep and playing together. Cuteness doubled!Baby discovers a toddler nearby, and he is the perfect boredom-buster. He’s also helpful in the search for a new hole-home for the wombats. Home-hunting is so much fun for Baby.What a delightful, funny and charming diary. Once again Bruce Whatley, the illustrator, lovingly portrays this wild, nocturnal bundle X 2 with super cuteness-factor-plus. The human is pretty cute too, goes without saying… I especially love the nappies and spotty socks.This is a great book for new readers as the text is simple, and repetitive in parts. Good for learning/anticipating the days of the week. For us older readers, it’s a great opportunity to ham-up the voice drama as you read to littlies. I love books where I can go silly with my voice and expressions. So much fun. Three and 4 year olds are particularly happy to have me read this wombat story (and the prequel) to them.“Diary of a Wombat” and “Baby Wombat’s Week” together, are 5 star. Baby Wombat’s Week is 4.5 star on its own, because the novelty of the first book’s diary format, is lost a little on me here.

Buyer Alert
Be alert that this book is the same book as “Diary of a Baby Wombat.” It simply has a different title. That being said, the story itself is delightful. Adults will find it as charming as children. Other books by author, “How to Scratch a Wombat” and “Diary of a Wombat,” are also very entertaining

Fuelling my daughter’s wombat obsession
My daughter was thrilled to discover another book about wombat by Jackie French, having first come to love them via her “Diary of a Wombat” and “Diary of a Baby Wombat”. Beautiful, cute and funny illustrations accompany the very simple but winning storyline. There’s only so much a wombat can do, but we’re hoping that Jackie French will continue to write about them!
