I love Little Wombat!! He and all the rest of the characters are so adorable. I like the introduction of a new friend. And it's fun to see Little Wombat learn to swim. A good choice for storytime to get the preschoolers involved in the actions. (Though I'll admit the illustrations of the lunch/naptime was a wink disturbing, on account of the "shrimps." hee hee)

My 1.5-year-old son really likes this one. I like that it's about a wombat and a platypus, because those are not creatures you commonly come across in picture-books or books that show different animals. I think this would be a great book to read if you wanted to get a child thinking/excited about learning how to swim. The text is short enough that my son actually has the patience for me to read the whole story, and he likes pointing out all the extra little creatures in the scenery.

One of those books that you read to kids not really because of the compelling plot, but more because you wanted a wombat and/or platypus story. Talks a little about swimming, but mostly a bland story with adorable pictures.

Little Wombat giggles at Platypus' name when they meet by the pond...until a potential disaster happens and this new friend saves the day. Wombat tackles a new skill and learns about friendship along the way.

Another fun Little Wombat story although not my favorite of the bunch. We're introduced to Platypus, who is a unique animal to know and gives the opportunity for a fun voice. There isn't much of a story, though, so the great illustrations are the best part of it by far.

Cute book about a platypus teaching a wombat how to swim. The themes of accepting others as they are and friendship. It's nice to have a book to share with my son containing Australian animals. Good story and illustrations.

A short but sweet tale of bravery. Little ones will delight in little wombat and platypus' new friendship.
