Description
Little Wombat decides one day that his burrow is too boring, so he sets off in search of the ideal home. But is it closer than he thinks? Another delightful story in the internationally acclaimed bestselling Little Wombat series.
Little Wombat is tired of living in his burrow, and so sets out to see what kind of homes his other friends live in. Koala, Frog, and Mole invite him to live with them, but wombats can't climb trees or walk on lily pads or live under rocks with the ants – none of these homes seem to be quite right for a little wombat! It's only once he gets back to his own burrow that Little Wombat realises there really is nowhere like it. There's even room to have a sleepover with all of his friends! A comforting story for little ones about how there’s no place like home.

About the Author
Charles Fuge (Charlie to his friends) was brought up in Bath where a fanatical interest in wildlife translated into the drawing of animals. He won the Macmillan Prize in 1988 for Bush Vark’s First Day Out, which won the Mother Goose Award the following year. And a career in children’s book illustration began. He has since illustrated a raft of picture books including Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball which was runner-up for the Kate Greenaway Medal 2001. Since then Charles has illustrated many books, a number of which he has also written. His Little Wombat series has garnered international recognition for its warm and humorous depiction of an iconic marsupial.
