Wombat Divine by Mem Fox

4.0

This very cute little Christmas book arrived at the bookshop too late to go out on the shelves, but I'm quite sure they'll sell quickly this year (well, in November/December obviously). It's about a group of children - in the guise of Australian animals - who are trying out for parts in the Nativity play. Poor wombat! There's always another who fits each part better.

The storyline is sweet - the animals are always encouraging, and find a delightful ending - and the illustrations are lots of fun. I expect I'll have to buy a copy myself.
