Sometimes I Like To Curl Up In A Ball

Charming full page illus. featuring an adorable wombat. 3-5 yrs.

The first book in the internationally-beloved Little Wombat series about a playful little wombat exploring and adventuring through the world around him. Sometimes I like to curl up in a ball, so no one can see me, because I'm so small. Little Wombat spends a day doing his favourite things: strutting around and around like a pigeon until he falls down, sticking out his tongue and pulling funny faces. And then he jumps as high as he can and sees how much noise he can make when he lands. But when the sun sets and the day ends he does the thing he likes best of all: going back home to his mother and curling into a ball. Good night!

Wombat likes to do many different things during the day, but when night comes he seeks out the coziest place of all.

One thing about a new day--you really never know where it will go, even if you know where it starts. Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is walking on the blanket when he is unexpectedly launched high into the air. Tumbling through space, the bird's-eye view offers our small friend not only a glimpse of the important things in life--his beloved Nana who sleeps in a fancy French bread, a stinky shoe, and a monstrous baby--but also a much bigger picture. Sometimes the most wonderful discoveries are the ones we least expect.

Four stories about Little Wombat and his friends.

The adorable star of Fuge's bestselling picture book series returns in a cuddly, silly new adventure. This time, Little Wombat's going on a hunt for a Bunyip, a mythical Australian beast that lurks in swamps, bogs, and riverbeds. Full color.

A little girl spends the day playing with her animals, having tea with a rhino, spinning with a hippo, and laughing with a giraffe.
