Kid Lit Blog Hop #11 Diary of a Wombat + a Surprise at the end

Welcome back folks to the Kid Lit Blog Hop #11

Today I am going to review a very Aussie picture book for you. Yes I know it was inevitable, we do publish books here too lol. Gigi was given Baby Wombat's Week by Jackie French which is actually called Diary of  a Baby Wombat on Amazon for the international audience. 

It is the second book, Diary of A Wombat was the first, where we follow the hilarious antics of Mothball the wombat. These books have been a huge success in Australia and also internationally, so what is all the hooey about.

 Well, I guess Wombats are native to Australia, along with the Kangaroo's and Koala's so yes we do have quite unique animals I grant you, but we get a bit immune to them. Not that there are wombats on every street or everywhere I go or anything, lol.

Wombats are pretty slow moving, lazy like animals, so when I read this book, I thought, kind of funny. Basically a Wombat scratching around, digging holes, playing with the humans. but Gigi absolutely loves it and asks for it over and over and over.
The illustrations are beautiful and if you ever get all the way down under, it is of course a must to see these lovable creatures especially at Australia Zoo ( only an hours drive from my parents house in Brisbane lol) but if you never make it down here, Diary of a Wombat is a fine substitute.

So there you have it folks. Happy Hopping and stay tuned for "POST OFFICE BOOK REVIEW," brought to you by desperate to make 100 links.

Happy Hopping folks.

Welcome to the 11th Kid Lit Blog Hop. Last time, we were just 3 links short of an even 100! Let's see if we can hit that magic number once again. I know we can do it! There were so many links to fantastic posts about children's books, literacy, favorites lists. Lots of variety! I managed once again to visit every link, comment on every link (if possible), and tweet something from each participating blog or author. I am so excited for all the wonderful books and articles that were linked in the last Hop and once again, I look forward to hopping around through the links this week. A big thank you to everybody who linked into the last Hop and I hope you will join us all again this week. Enjoy the Hop!
