review 1: Diary of a Wombat (2003) is a favorite in our household. I was delighted when I saw a sequel and moments later, dubious. Could they really create something as charming and sweet and laugh out loud funny as the first? Happily, the answer is yes. In this story the baby wombat meets the newcomer to the human household . . . another baby. They play together quite well. Bruce Whatley's pictures are really perfect. I love the expressiveness of the wombat. Just the one open eye of the mother in a picture where they are supposed to be sleeping, but the baby is waking is so effective. The plain white background accentuates the poses and movement of the main characters of the baby wombat, mother wombat, and human baby. A delight.
review 2: Wow, what a disappointment. I m... moreight have enjoyed this book more if I had never read Diary of a Wombat (the original) but I had such high expectations--love the first book--and this just wasn't even close to being the laugh out loud, read and reread type of children's book that it's predecessor is. Kind of bummed out. The kids thought the baby wombat was cute. In all fairness, this would probably be a 3-star if I had never read the first book. less
