This year Wombat is old enough to part in the nativity play, ‘so with his heart full of hope and his head full of dreams, he hurried along to the auditions.’ It’s hard to find a part that’s just right for him and when all the parts have been handed out, he’s a very sad wombat indeed. Everyone crowds around to comfort him but then Bilby has a brilliant idea.
The Australian animals go on to put on the ‘best Nativity ever.’ Our favourite page is where all the animals are sitting about eating pudding on Christmas Day, talking about the Nativity. (Platypus is dozing, maybe he ate a little too much pudding.)
This picture book is a favourite at our house. And the good news is – we have one copy of Wombat Divine to give away!
