Wombat loves digging deep holes and thinking deep thoughts, but nobody thinks much of that until danger threatens the bush and the small wombat comes up with a great big idea...
"I think I'll dig a hole today." Wombat loves digging holes and thinking, but when he emerges one day from the cool dark of his deepest hole, his mother has disappeared. He is all alone. As Wombat searches the outback for her, the wonderful creatures he encounters scoff at his skills. It is only when danger threatens the bush that wombat's thinking proves the most brilliant skill of all...
Michael Morpurgo's funny and touching story is complemented by the extraordinary illustrations of Christian Birmingham.
'An exceptional book. The text is wonderful to read aloud.'
