Diary of a Rescued Wombat

French, Jackie/ Whatley, Bruce

Celebrating the twentieth anniversary, this is the story of Mothball, one of the world’s most famous wombats – and where it all began.

She is small. She is scared. She is lost.
She is a baby wombat who needs a home.
She is Mothball, a wombat destined to become famous.

This is the (almost) true story of one small wombat who learnt how to train her humans – and inspired the internationally best-selling picture book Diary of a Wombat by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley.
