A lovely book set in Australia which is a great starting point, mid point or end point for themes galore. A little wombat goes 'walkabout' and meetings animals along the way-a Kookaburra, Wallaby, Possum, Emu, Boy and Koala. They aren't terribly impressed by the Wombat as they tell him everything they can do and he very modestly says he doesn't do much but 'thinks a lot and digs a lot'.
I won't say much more but this is also a pertinent assembly book for BLP, for anytime when we need reminding about appreciating all our different talents. For SATS week where children feel more pressurised than ever to be 'good' at certain things. This book is a very gentle reminder that we are all special. All the animals mentioned above are very glad of Wombat's own gifts and talents during the story but I won't spoil it and tell you why. Get a copy from the library and find out for yourself.
