Wombat loves digging deep holes and thinking deep thoughts, but nobody thinks much of that until danger threatens the bush and the small wombat comes up with a great big day Wombat digs the deepest hole he`s ever dug and crawls into the cool darkness to think. But when he climbs out again, he can`t see his mother anywhere. He is all alone. As he wanders through the great outback looking for her, Wombat meets all kinds of wonderful creatures - Kookaburra, Wallaby, Possum, Emu, Boy and Koala. None of them think very much of him, though. But when a fire sweeps through the bush, it is Wombat`s skills which save the day, and afterwards everyone races off to find his mum and bring her back to him. AGE 4-8
