Book Overview
As long as you have good friends, you'll never really be lost. Wombat is back in a followup to the bestselling Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball . The critically acclaimed artist Charles Fuge joins writer Angela McAllister to create a charmingly illustrated, deeply reassuring tale about getting lost and found again. An endearing little wombat and his friends love playing hide-and-seek--even though Wombat doesn't quite understand all the rules of the game. When it's his turn to seek, he hides once more, then calls out "Two, TEN" and opens his eyes. So Rabbit and Koala suggest he count 10 flowers and then search for them. But Wombat doesn't count the pink blossoms nearby; he wanders far away, over the hill, looking for yellow ones. Suddenly, the little animal realizes he's very, very alone... But you can always depend on friends-and mom--coming to the rescue. Cuddly, sweet-faced, and personality-filled animals in Fuge's inimitable style, plus a comforting story that kids will really empathize with, add up to a winning combination.

My son (born 05/00) ADORES this book. He gets four stories every night before bed if he's a good listener otherwise a story gets taken away. So far, FYLW (as we refer to it) has been *the* book to read, even if he's down to one!More than any other story this tale has really sparked my son's imagination. We sometimes 'act out' the adventure during family playtime. During the reading, my son will 'help' little wombat along by saying things like, "It's okay, we're going to do *this*." We as parents really like that you can build on the story as it's presented and there isn't any sort of rhyme scheme to get stuck in your head for the rest of the night.Little kids will respond to the comforting message of being lost and found, having friends and family who love you, and being playful and fun little ones.Highly recommended!Illustrations: 9/10Story: 8/10Message: 9/10Fun: 10/10Educational value: N/A
