![]() ![]() The pictures in “Wombat Divine” are to die for. There is something truly Christmasy about seeing the enormous wombat resting comfortably in the manger. Why not try for a different part?”Īt the end, Wombat is given the ultimate role of baby Jesus. ![]() Wombat’s friends are chosen instead, and as each accepts his or her part, they each try to cheer up their friend. At the auditions, though, Wombat is too heavy to be the Archangel Gabriel, too big to be Mary and too clumsy to be the innkeeper. In the story, Wombat has wanted to try out for the nativity play ever since he was little, and he is now finally old enough. ![]() And it also possesses a non-commercial, genuine holiday spirit that allows it to fit in perfectly with other Christmas classics. During the year, it would be excellent for baby-sitters, parents and older siblings to arm themselves with. People of all ages should be able to enjoy this book. “Wombat Divine” is a children’s book, but don’t let that stop you from reading it. There’s still a little bit of time before Christmas, and I urge you to get your hands on what, if given half a chance, could be the biggest holiday sensation since Tickle Me Elmo and Tamagotchi pets - “Wombat Divine” by Mem Fox. ![]()
