Product Description
When Willamena Wombat discovered that she and three of her friends, Katie Koala, Kelly Kangaroo & Penny Possum were being sent to a Zoo in London she was nervous; and sad at leaving her other friends. She soon forgot her sadness when their cages accidentally fell out of the back of a van during their transfer to the London Zoo. They were lost in an unfamiliar and scary English forest. Searching for food in the dark forest, she detected the scent of an unfamiliar animal, and ran for her life with the animal in pursuit. There was no safe wombat burrow to hide in here. Willamena found herself at the mercy of a strange animal that came to her rescue. Can she trust this animal? How will she escape? 'The Adventures of Willamena Wombat' is the first in a trilogy that relates the adventures of these four animals. The stories cover the interaction between the unique animals of both countries, who, while very different, live in a similar manner. |

April 03, 2009
If you have children who are interested in learning about animals from around the world, this enchanting animal adventure book, `Lost In A Strange Land: The Adventures of Willamena Wombat' is a good book for them to read. Written by an Australian author Elaine Ouston, for early readers, it relates the adventures of four unique Australian animals that become lost in an English forest. It educates the kids about the animals of both countries and shows the comparisons in the way they live. The interactions between the animals are handled sensitively and promote a strong moral of not judging others by appearance. My kids loved it and can't wait for the next book in the series.
