Learn all about the Australian "bulldozer of the bush" in a
fascinating introduction to the wombat.
Wombats may look soft and cuddly, but they are determined and tough,
with sharp teeth that never stop growing, limbs that they use to shovel
dirt like bulldozers, and bony bottoms they use to defend their burrows.
They can live for years without drinking water, getting all of their
moisture from the plants they eat--and they deposit their cube-shaped
poop on rocks or stumps as a warning to other wombats. Follow one of
these powerful marsupials through a suspenseful day in Christopher
Cheng's engaging narration, paired with endearing illustrations by Liz
Duthie and interspersed with intriguing facts. An endnote provides
additional information about wombats for readers curious to learn more.
