Wombats Are Pretty Weird: A [Not So] Serious Guide by Abi Cushman

Find out all you could possibly ever want to know about wombats within these pages. 

Thoughts: I've been a wombat fan ever since I read Jackie French's Diary of a Wombat way back in 2011. Wombats are so cute. But now that I've read Abi Cushman's newest book I know know that wombats are also weird. Wombats Are Pretty Weird is the perfect blend of humor and facts. I love the conversations that take place between Joey the Snake and the other characters. The illustrations are colorful and, dare I say it, cute. This book reminds me of The Truth About...series by Maxwell Eaton III. Kids definitely appreciate a little humor with their facts. I think Wombats Are Pretty Weird will be fun to share with first and second graders. Find an activity guide, bookmark craft, and storytime activity sheets on the author's website here.
