Wombat Can't Sing

But his attempts at singing – even with lots of advice and assistance from friends – fall woefully short. Then Wombat discovers his own unique way to make others just as happy.

Adorable, funny, and fun to read, with a great message at the end about everyone having their own strengths.

What a gorgeous picture book for children aged 2-5 years
The book is about a Wombat who listens to a Fantail bird sing, which makes everyone happy. However, the Wombat can’t sing so he worries he can’t make everyone happy.
Along the way he meets other animal friends who try to show him how to make everyone happy.
The Wombat soon discovers he has his one unique way of making others happy.
This book is full of Australian animals, and the illustrations are absolutely stunning.
My toddler enjoyed pointing and identifying all the different animals, and making the animal sounds.
