Reviewed by Jenny Heslop
Woolly Wombat and
Bandicoot are best friends. They live together, eat together and have fun
together. But sometimes, as most friends do, they also get cross and fight with
each other.
Woolly Wombat is
an endearing character. He and Bandicoot have a relationship which is just like
a sibling relationship. Any child with a brother, sister or close best friend
will probably relate strongly to this tale of friendship, fighting, and making
up.
While this is a
simple concept and story line for beginner readers and young children, the
beautiful, expressive illustrations also portray a little more going on. These
clever pictures enhance humour in the story and engage the reader further.
This book, like
the three other Woolly Wombat stories, is fun and attractive. The
slimness of each book, the themes explored and the simplicity and sparseness of
the words used make them perfect first readers.
