Wombat by Christopher Cheng, illustrated by Liz Duthie - ESSENTIAL

Wombat by Christopher Cheng, illustrated by Liz Duthie
. PICTURE BOOK, NON-FICTION Candlewick Press, 2021 18 9781536220360 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

A day in the life of a Wombat! From the early morning she has a busy day, looking for food, digging under a fence, working on her burrow, napping when the sun is high, chasing away another wombat who has wandered into her territory, even escaping a Dingo! 

So beautifully illustrated by Liz Duthie! Although the story follows a fictional wombat, the italicized scientific information was fascinating. Christopher Cheng's narrative makes this literary non-fiction perfect for the animal section of your library, and the cover - There's a Wombat! Kids won't be able to resist picking it up. (The book, not the Wombat)
